Hi Alkymst,
My PN was caused by Prediabetes & low b12, i also noticed a loss of hair mostly over my calf muscles, its been growing back for a while now but its not the strong normal hair i had before PN arrived, we call it " bum fluff " over here in OZ you know that light coloured hair that boys get on their face before the real deal comes along and then we have to shave it.

I have been lucky enough to have reversed nearly all [98 %] of the damage to my nerves, in a 3 year period, i say 98% because when its a very hot day, i get a slight burn in my feet & lower legs, but thats only once in a blue moon when the temp is extremely high outside, around the 38 -40 degrease Celcius days.

Whilst healing, i found that i had worsening of symptoms at times, then it would settle down for a while then off it would go again,there was no set pattern to it, that went on for about 2 years then in the last year the symptoms became slightly lessor each time and the bursts of increased burning become further and further apart, THANK GOD.

Have they done a recent glucose tolerance test to see how your prediabetic state is now ? and did they find something in a blood test to confirm chemical exposure ?
