Well, based on your history posted here I see 3 culprits for PN.

1) diabetes

2) toxin exposures (solvents and other strong chemicals)

3) Previous Zocor use.

That is not looking too idiopathic to me!

You may recover some damage, because of the Zocor over time. But that depends on how much damage you have etc which is difficult to prove.

2) The toxins may or may not improve with time.

3) controlling blood sugars may help with diabetes.
Supplements showing promise for diabetes, are lipoic acid--I'd use the best one as we've posted before, benfotiamine, and
acetyl carnitine. All have papers on PubMed for diabetic neuropathy.
