What kind of nerve damage DeLivery? It took a good few years for my nerve damage to be linked to my drinking. Even though it was on my medical record I think the various doctors I saw didn't make the connection and eventually one doctor asked my neurologist to tell me to stop drinking. It is all so much better since I have stopped though, even after a few weeks. It is standard procedure in the UK I think to avoid anything they don't think is entirely necessary. Have you asked them why you haven't been referred to a Neurologist?
