Thanks for the reply Noah. May I ask what kind of symptoms you had with your neuropathy? Mine (and again still no official diagnosis) are primarily aches, pains and cramps in my calves and thighs. Slight tingling in the feet, warm cold sensations (not very frequent) in the feet and general soreness of both legs and feet throughout the day.
Going on week 7 booze free and some symptoms have gotten worse while others have gotten slightly better or less frequent. Strange thing is that the first time I quit all symptoms disappeared after 2 weeks.
