Look, if you nip it in the bud - quit drinking for a good while, maybe forever, you might only end up with a small amount of PN. You'll probably still need some medication. I was ignorant - I drank for a few years even though I had problems with my feet and legs. I didn't know anything about PN, and you're lucky you do. Best of luck and stay in touch Brue (no idea why people called me this) |

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.

I just joined the forum, did a search for alcoholic neuropathy which brought me to your post. I've been a heavy drinker for 10 years. Last year, I began having balance/gait issues. Sometimes, just standing, causes my legs to shake.
Finally I saw a neurologist who diagnosed me with ataxia. MRI was fine. I don't have the pain, tingling, numbness that so many of you describe. My question is this; is ataxia usually a symptom of neuropathy? Seems like what I'm experiencing is a little different. I do have a Vit D defiency, so started supplements, and have stopped drinking. Thank you all for being here. I hope I can recover from the damage I've done. |

There are some studies showing that some ataxias are due to gluten intolerance.
If you Google "gluten ataxia" you can find many articles like this: http://celiacdisease.about.com/od/Gl...ten-Ataxia.htm Also the Gluten file has a heading about it: https://sites.google.com/site/jccglu...e/glutenataxia Going Gluten free may help. (if one is consuming beer, and has gluten intolerance it might be a double whammy issue, since beer is made from grain). It is worth looking into IMO. Quote:
