The real bottom line is will it build healthy nerves? What does the body need to build healthy nerves?

I’ve often noticed a similarity between the symptoms of fibromyalgia and neuropathy. I even knew someone who was diabnosed as having fibromyalgia who tried the remedy for neuropathy (WSN Nerve Support Formula) with good results. I thought at the time that maybe she was misdiagnosed and really had neuropathy
Recently there was a study done on some people with small fiber poly neuropathy and half of them were found to have neuropathy.
Here is an article on Fibromyalgia which talks about these studies later in the article, and has a link to the actual study.
It would be nice to know that some people can get relief from their fibromyalgia by addressing it as neuropathy. I know how debilitating fibromyalgia can be,
