Default Vitamin deficiency and the progression of neuropathy

Hi all,

Roughly 2.5 months after the onset of my initial symptoms (numbness, tingling in my feet), my neurologist found that my b12 and e numbers were low. I do believe that these low levels are involved in my neuropathy, as since I have started supplementing with vitamin b12 and eating tons of vitamin e-rich food the weakness in my ankles has completely vanished. But the numbness and neuropathic pain remain in both feet and I am now starting to experience cramping in the left leg, which is new. So this raises the question, even though I am aggressively treating what seems to be the cause of my neuropathy, can I still expect the damage to progress up my legs? Is my best hope to simply slow the progression? It seems like I caught this and began treating it fairly early. If my symptoms do indeed continue to progress, is that necessarily an indication that there is more involved than simple vitamin deficiency? Many thanks for your input! - HS
