Hi Sue,

I'm going on about 3 years with PN. It began in my toes, one foot slightly worse than the other (felt like I was walking around with tissue bunched up under my toes ) and progressed to where it is now within about 3-6 months, and stopped progressing, but I've cut out things that aggravate it, take supplements that help, and try to keep up with the memos (reading/learning, trying new things). I gave up on neurologists after 3 of them gave up on me, and I've been doing better ever since.

Also, just your opion, do you think it is safe me to have 1-2 wines tomorrow for my birthday? Do you think l will damage more nerves?
Sue, I have no idea. I don't know exactly what you feel (symptom-wise) but more importantly, you haven't gotten ANY tests/answers from your doctors yet.

However, if it were me, I'd put that bottle in the fridge until I knew something definite, and got my doctor's answer. We're not talking about very long. It'll still be there, and if things go well, there may be all the more reason for celebration. And... y'know... (Happy B-Day!)

Doc
