M147 - I have no idea if this is neuropathy or not. I hope not for your sake. My husband has PN caused by alcohol and a one time toxic ingestion of Rubbing alcohol. He also has damage to his brain. It all came on really suddenly. He was a binge drinker. He was a soldier and then a career police officer. now, he is now in a wheelchair and has numerous health problems. He is a really good man who has a really bad problem with alcohol. As the loved one of an alcoholic who has watched one slowly destroy himself, i begg you to get some help for your drinking. There is no shame in having a problem. Alcohol is an equal opportunity DESTROYER. Please take care of yourself. You are woth it!! I will be praying for you.
