Hi @maddholly, Welcome to Connect. I have idiopathic small fiber PN. Once I found out alcohol damages nerves I stopped drinking. I have no medical training or background but from the reading I've done if you have neuropathy any alcohol is not going to help your body if it is trying to recover. Here are a couple of articles that may be helpful.

I know the initial diagnosis of neuropathy can be pretty discouraging but if you learn as much as you can about the condition and find out what helps others, you might find something that helps you. Have you looked into taking any supplements or vitamins to help with the symptoms?
