Hi Forsterjoe,
I find the attitude of your Neurologist extraordinary. It sounds to me from your description of events that alcohol is neurotoxic for you. Under those circumstances and at your young age it would be a very risky strategy to continue with alcohol as you have. Your nerves need to last you a lifetime. Typically alcohol causes demyelination of nerves that leads to the symptoms you have experienced. Toxic neuropathy is recoverable if you remove the toxin and allow your body to heal but if you keep drinking it is likely that you won't. A strategy that you could aim for is to stop drinking until you feel fully recovered and then have an occasional drink, but even that is not without risk. Best wishes, Atty |

Thanks for the replies guys! Yes I've checked out all the relevant forums. Right now, I'm not bothered if I never drink alcohol again. I just want rid of this thing... I guess I'll just have to wait and see how long it takes to heal, if indeed it does. There seems to be so much ambiguity around whether this thing heals or recovers and if it is reversible / irreversible. So strange. Thanks for your advice though!
