Just to ensure I understand what you are saying: Did you think that if the numbness was from a Vitamin B deficiency that the numbness could be reversed when the deficiency was addressed? If so - are your Vitamin B levels back to normal?

To the broader audience: Regardless of the cause, can nerve damage be reversed? My understanding is that it cannot but I may be wrong.

@iceblue I don't know of any successful cases of nerve damage being reverse from what I've read but there seems to be some promise in a new drug treatment with pirenzepine.
