I suspect it's a myth. I don't have a weight problem, yet peripheral neuropathy crippled my foot. It's the nerves that are the problem. They don't put on or lose weight!

weight loss does help when you factor in other issues such as blood pressure, cholesterol level, heart issues.

Can they try another medication? I don't have an answer to your question, but I would think that once the nerves have been damaged it would be very hard for them recover.
