I am 43 years old and suffered a mild stroke in late Feb.

I absolutely disagree with the prognosis that if your Neuropathy lasted 18 months, it is then considered permanent. Don’t know where you heard that, but I know of at least three (3) different people who had Neuropathy for years. One had the disease for 4 years, another for 5 years and I spoke to a man who after 7 years, as quick as the Neuropathy came, the pain, numbness and tingling left his body. I’m not saying everyone will be so lucky, but there are people who do get well. I also have had Neuropathy myself for about 22 months now. My diet consists of foods that are high sources of vitamins. I deal with this each and every single day, and realize I might have this rest of my life. I also know nerves can and do repair themselves. I wish you the very best, but always carry hope. There is no end of people who think negatively. Best of Luck…….. Johnny B.
