My PN started when I was around 30 yrs old. That was 36 yrs ago.

Fixing the hypothyroidism, stopped it for quite a while and I had functioning return. Then I became insulin resistant, and it started up some again. But I control it with diet and some supplements and have very little to complain about today.

The hereditary neuropathies will progress, some faster than others and that may be due to environmental triggers. There is one paper on PubMed describing a person with no symptoms of CMT until they were given Levaquin, which is neurotoxic in some some people.
