Welcome @bobo333, It sounds like you have been through the wringer trying to get your neuropathy diagnosed and treated. My neuropathy has been with me many years and started in my toes as numbness. I've never had any pain with it, just the numbness and some tingling at times. I shared my neuropathy journey in another discussion here - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/310341/. I don't believe my neuropathy was caused by nutrition or vitamin deficiencies but I do take vitamin supplements known to help with neuropathy in hopes that it will prevent any further progression. Here's some information on this cause for neuropathy:

Thank you for the reference to the FoundationforPN.org website for info on PN and vitamin deficiency. I have an appt w/ my neurologist tomorrow morning and will take this list with me to get her input. Again, thanks. Your posts have been so very helpful even when they are meant for someone else; they contain such vital information. And thank you for being a Mentor.
