Hi @cim37343, Welcome to Connect. Thank you for sharing your post. I have no medical training or background but have done a lot of research and reading on neuropathy. There are many causes but no real cure for neuropathy. Most treatments target the symptoms not the disease. I'm sure if you have alcoholic neuropathy continuing to drink is not going to help with the symptoms.
Did your husband's neurologist diagnose him with alcoholic neuropathy?

wow, never heard anything about alcohol and neuropathy. I have neuropathy bad, but never liked alcohol. I have 2 ex alcoholic husbands, wonder how they are doing. Probably after a few ice tea glasses of scotch, they most likely feel no pain.
I cannot even wear shoes mine is so bad. House slippers only. I wish I didn't have it and that they both had huge ugly warts on their noses (my mother always said that!! In fun)

She said it was likely caused from alcohol since he wasn’t diabetic and blood tests indicated nothing else.
