First of all I don’t believe in trying to predict the future at any specific time. I will deal with whatever (if anything) happens in my life at that time. What good is it going to do to worry about the future. As they say 99% of the things you worry about never happen and the other one percent is going to happen regardless, so I don't see the point in worrying. What I can say is that as I have aged my neuropathy has gotten worse. Although my neuropathy, as far as my pain is concerned, it has actually gone away even though my neuropathy has advanced to stage four. Now I only have numbness which is much more tolerable than the pain. But that's not to say yours will react the same way. Not all neuropathy progresses, especially not to paralysis and amputation that many neuropathy cure pushers claim just so they can steal your hard earned money on fraudulent products.
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. I have tried Gabapentin and Lyrica but I tried them primary to help seizures. Neither worked on my seizures nor neuropathy.
If you must worry manifest it in a positive way. Neuropathy can also improve.
Take care,
Jake
