hair growth
 
Wud you get hair growth with periphal neuropathy.. does it mean the nerbves are regenerating

Had the hair stopped growing? Where is it? How noticeable is the difference? I believe hair growth has more to do with circulation than with nerves, but I definitely have less hair on my lower legs and none on my feet, ankles and hands as my nerves die back.
This also happens with age. I am finding that peri menopause means I shave my legs less but the unwanted facial hair keeps me busy...

I wish someone else would chime in. I don't know very much about diabetic neuropathy, your other reactions sure sound like some of it is the flu shot.
I do not think the hair is significant, but if you are experiencing hair loss and gain simultaneously it could be hormonal or thyroid, I would get both checked.

Hair loss on legs below the knee especially can be due to poor circulation. CMT will do this. Also, aging can do it. Good article on it:

Not that this applies to your specific case, but nerve damage can definitely cause abnormal hair growth. I developed Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome while in a cast following thumb surgery. When the cast came off, my forearm and hand, which normally have sparse, light-colored hair, were covered with thick, dark hair. It took many months for the nerve damage to heal and the hair gradually to go back to normal.
