How to Tell If Your Neuropathy Is Improving (4, 8 & 12 Weeks)

Nerve changes rarely happen overnight — they tend to unfold gradually, which makes them easy to miss or misjudge day to day. In this short breakdown, Dr. Fitz walks through a sensible way to observe your own symptoms over a 4-, 8-, and 12-week window: what kinds of changes tend to show up early, what a longer view can reveal that daily checking can't, and simple ways to track symptoms consistently so you're comparing like with like. It's a framework for honest self-observation over time, not a stopwatch.
