I would start doing things now to improve.... That is a long wait til next July....

He stated in his comments...nutrients. You can start there.

Cut way back on sugar and simple carbs. Eat the Mediterranean diet or The Zone Diet for good fats and adequate proteins.

Get rid of any drugs that cause PN... see my thread in the SubForum above. Check out my Supplements for PN thread up there too.

Eating sugar can really make PN feel much much worse. It has to do with insulin spikes and basic metabolism. I'd get rid of high fructose corn syrup --now called corn sugar-- also.

Many posters here over the years have posted improvements by just eliminating sugar. Sounds simple, but it works.

Thanks Mrs. D,

I have to admit I do drink to many things with sugar and caffine in them. My diet I would say is not terrible but also has not been perfect lately due to a lot of stress and I mean alot of stress. I could use some improvement. I will try to watch my sugar intake, but I don't know about giving up the morning caffinated coffee though. I know stress can make PN symptoms worse, but I've been wondering lately if it can actually cause peripheral neuropathy? I haven't found any solid evidence online suggesting that it can.
