Hello, pha29205 (@pha29205)

Welcome! When you say you have "alcoholic neuropathy," can you explain a bit more? I have large-fiber neuropathy, so no pain but lots of balance problems.

I'm 81. When I was a young man, I was a heavy drinker, but I quit when I was in my late 40s; in other words, I've something over 30 years of sobriety. Only once in all my many visits to neurologists' offices was anything ever said about my long-ago years of drinking, and that one mention was by a nurse who noticed what she saw as a "shadow" on a brain MRI. Both she and the neurologist assured me that the so-called shadow was neither the cause nor a present-day accelerant of today's balance difficulties.

You can probably see why I'm curious about your "alcoholic neuropathy."

I wish you well in managing your neuropathy!
