Starting with your primary is good. I had symptoms similar to you. My primary referred me to a neurologist and he missed my issue. Fortunately, the second one figured it out. Please ask for a B12 lab test. This can have severe symptoms if too low. I never realized how serious it could be.
I hope you find your answers. I’ve learned to really advocate for myself. And, listen to my instincts.

The Neurologist ordered B12 and Vitamin D labs and both came back low so I supplement those and they are in the correct ranges now. I stay away from gluten and refined sugars, and I follow low fodmap. Before those changes, my mental and physical symptoms were a lot worse.

Related, I also found that excessive amounts of B6 can cause neuropathy! I was using Liquid IV for POTS and it has additional B6 in it that we found exacerbated my neuropathy.
