<human>: I have had Peripheral Neuropathy for about 4 years.  I am not diabetic & have had several test to figure out the cause.  Ive been told that its because Im pre-diabetic & if I lose weight hopefully the it will go away.  Ive lost about 60 pounds so far.  A couple of days ago I got new sensations.  FYI - the Neuropathy is worse in my left foot.  In my toes on the right foot, all but the big toe, its like I was getting muscle spasms & when my husband gently stretched them up & down it helped.  Also, the night before I was getting muscle spams/cramps in my left ankle.  My husband rubbed it & it helped.  Are these possible signs that my Neuropathy is getting better or going away?  Also about 3 months ago I had a shocking sensation in my right leg close to my knee a few times over about a week & that has never happened before either...
