Your neuropathy is more likely due to nerve damage in your feet. Can you wiggle your toes? In my case I have nerve damage in my feet from being pre-diabetic and that was due to having hypercortisolism which went undiagnosed for years before it was discovered in a serendipitous fashion. I had growths on both adrenal glands which were producing cortisol. Had one adrenal gland removed last August, but I'm still producing more than I need. Excess cortisol can lead to diabetes, osteoporosis, high BP among other things.

I also have hypercortilism with growths on both adrenal glands. Doctor doesn’t remove adrenal glands because they both have growths and he do think it would help. Have they suggested medication for high cortisol levels. They have suggested korlym and recorlev but I’m not taking them because I’m scared of side effects. I’m undecided what to do. It’s worrisome.
