Any suggestions would be helpful. I drank fairly heavily (2 bottles of wine per day) for about five years and stopped 11/11. About 2/12 I began to experience significant joint pain and numbness, tingling and pain in my hands and feet which has gradually increased. I have seen my primary care, a rheumatologist and a neurologist. I had an EMG which confired "mild neuropathy". Both specialists attributed my symptoms to alcohol use within about 5 minutes of my time with them. Had many blood test, all are normal. I am very willing to accept that alcohol has ruined yet another area of my life, but I also have a concern that my alcohol use may be a quick hook to hang my symptoms on. I have worked in healthcare for years and have seen how this is done. Not sure what my next step should be. Thanks.
