Take care Sue. I know it is easy to get scared. Also, we wonder what we did to cause it. I think mine was anitibiotics and/or surgery I had. The body wants to heal, so hopefully you can try what Mrs D said, and it will help. I do all I can and have had so much improvement. Nerves take a long time to heal so do all you can and then give the nerves a chance to heal. Don't forget to eat REALLY nutrient dense food. Good antioxidents, etc.
