thanks for the tips... i have figured out that part of what was keeping me drinking alcohol was its effect of increasing insulin resistance, this peripheral neuropathy stuff comes up strong when i stop drinking so now i gotta figure out what to do about it i was experimenting with yohimbe as it was said to stimulate the production of amylase, and amylase building up around nerves is one likely cause of neuropathy especially the kind that does the cramping thing (by creating capacitance in the nerve signaling path, ie, slow to charge, slow to release) oof what a mess i'm in, and i'm supposed to be trying to work through this while my brain is not functioning, this is not easy lol
