Thumbs Up Thank God I found this site! Question about neuropathy.

Just stumbled across this forum and love the info! I was injured 9 years ago, and it ended my career. Since then, I started drinking very heavily. It got to the point I was drinking almost a half gallon of vodka a day.
This past December, I had a massive heart attack, requiring triple bypass.
I was in so deep and depressed, I didn't quit drinking, and I also smoked.
I was in the hospital for a week, and once I got out, the first place I stopped was a convenience store for a pack of cigarettes... When I hit the front door I went right for the booze.
Well, God got angry and gave me another slap. 4 days later, I had another heart attack. This time, one of the by passes collapsed, and a stint was installed.
This time, I threw the cigarettes away, and dumped the booze down the drain.

Now I'm dealing with the aftermath. The heavy drinking caused me to become diabetic. The smoking almost got me on the COPD train, but I'm feeling better, 4 months out.
One other consolation prize I received is neuropathy in my feet. The balls of both feet are numb, thank God their isn't any pain, just feels odd.

Thanks to some of the articles I've read so far, there might be a chance for me to recover some, or if the Lord allows, all of my feeling back.
I'm taking a B complex, as well as fish oil and zinc. I've been taking all this for the last month and wondered how long it might take before I feel any results? I figure I'll take it for maybe 3 months. But if there's no improvement, I really don't want to waste the money.

Anyone have advice, or suggestions about what I can do, and what to expect? I know it's taken years to get here, and it'll most likely take years to get close to where I was. I just need some good news for a change.
Thanks in advance, and God bless!!!
