and congrats to you Icehouse!!
As noted above, I was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy earlier in the year--alcohol related. At 30 days sober, I can say that I have some modest improvement in my symptoms. I have a little less numbness and what little pain I had --an occasional "stabbing" sensation--has not made an appearance in a couple of weeks. I still have fatigue though not quite as much. I don't know how much of this modest improvement is actually reversal of PN or just the benefits of getting booze out of my system, but I grateful either way. From what I have read, it takes a long time to reverse PN. I take alpha lipoic acid, doctor's best benfotiamine, co enzyme 10, and tumeric. |

Great work newstown! (and Icehouse ). Sure, it takes time, and that time will depend - as you can imagine - on quite a few things, but you will get there, and sooner than you think.
Let's make this a trend, eh. |

Well Icehouse, just letting you know you've got another convert. I'm just out of rehab and 40 days sober, just starting on the recommended vitamins. While you weren't the sole reason I decided to get help, this thread and your story and the hope that my own pn might get better did indeed factor into my decision to seek treatment. So here's to you and the others in this threat who've beaten alcohol!

PB, this is the reason I stick around, in the hope that I will make even the slightest impression on anyone that may be debating their life with alcohol. Now, I am a firm believer that you can't "beat" alcoholism, but you certainly can control it. Keep up the sobriety and I will be here if you have any questions!

It took me a full year before I felt "normal". I hope your time frame is faster. |
