No socks? Your pain must be severe. Have you been on narcotics? If so did they help? They didn’t totally get rid of my pain but they helped.
I don’t think the alcohol is helping anything. In my opinion 3 months isn’t very long. In fact alcohol is is the second leading cause of Neuropathy after Diabetes.
Alcohol is considered a poison by the body and causes absorption problems of B-12. B-12 is essential for normal nerve and red blood cell production and necessary for DNA among other things.
Might not be a bad idea to have your B-12 level checked. You may just have a low B-12 level. Your body may well have trouble absorbing vitamin B-12 because of the alcohol and perhaps you only have a vitamin deficiency. A B-12 deficiency can also cause nerve damage and Neuropathy symptoms as well as degeneration of the spine. It’s unlikely your symptoms will improve if you abstain from your nightcaps. However your Neuropathy may not get worse, provided it’s a B-12 issue. I wonder if all that pasta could be contributing to the problem. Have you had your Glucose checked recently? I assume you don’t have Diabetes.
