alcoholic neuropathy. muscle weakness. left hand.
*******************************************
Hello!
2 weeks ago I woke up and found out that I have a muscle weakness in my left hand. I can't unbend fingers all the way so my left palm gets horizontally parallel.
Muscles of left hand got weak! I still can bend/unbend fingers, but not unbend all the way. My left arm is still strong. I can hold things, do pushups against the floor.
This is the only symptom I got. Right hand is OK, both legs are OK.
I was drinking for 2 weeks straight prior to that, drinking every day. I am 51 and I am in a good shape, no overweight, no diabetic. I do some jogging on a regular basis. At this time I don't have a medical insurance because I have been laid of recently. My year ago blood test result (I got it at home) showed that everything is within the normal range. Doctor wrote - All labs are OK.
I think I have an alcoholic neuropathy.
I am looking for your help, guys!
I bought vitamins B-12 (1000 mcg) and Super B-complex and for now I am just taking Super B-complex 1 tablet 3 times a day and I don't drink at all.
1 tablet:
vitamin C - 150 mg
Thiamin - 100 mg
Riboflafin - 20 mg
Niacin - 25 mg
vitamin B6 - 2 mg
Folic Acid - 400 mcg
vitamin B12 - 15 mcg
Biotin - 30 mcg
Pantothenic Acid - 5.5 mg

Could you, guys, please suggest the treatment?
regards.
