I wouldn't feel blessed quite yet if I were you.
As neuropathy worsens and you reach later stages, for example I’m in stage four, this is when your nerve damage becomes permanent. Sure the pain improves but your balance likely will get worse. There are other potential serious complications that may develop. Once I reached stage four ED, bladder & bowel problems have evolved.
Here are the neuropathy stages.

First Stage: You Have Sporadic Pain and Numbness.
Second Stage: You symptoms Become More Regular.
Third Stage: Your Pain Peaks.
Fourth Stage: You Have Constant Numbness.
Fifth and Final Stage: You Have A Complete Loss of Feeling.

Here is some information on Neuropathy.

Thanks for the NIH link. Great info. I've signed up for possible research study participation, not that I'm expecting any kind of miracle cures, but I might as well be part of the solution. I'm not liking stage 5. Ugh.
