Peripheral Nerve Disorders and Neuropathy [View all]

About a year ago my feet started to tingle, felt numb and cold. Kept getting worse to the point it was hard to sleep. Doc says I have Peripheral Nerve Disorders and Neuropathy and not related to sugar. Looked on the NET and it looked like either pain pills or pot and that was about it. Also found something about statin drugs and low B12. Stopped taking the statins and it got about 50% better. Started on sublingual B12 and now about 80% better.

Anyone else know anything.
