@indyjo i have recently learned that years on ppi medicine omeprazole had likely been blocking my stomach from breaking down food rich in vitamin b12 and caused me to be mildly deficient. B12 deficiency symptoms include neuropathy alongside many other symptoms including memory loss fatigue confussion ect. I feel somewhat lucky as i was able to present my findings to my GP who agreed to start me on b12 injections. Since then i have definitely noticed some improvements in my neuropathy and my cognitive issues. However i belive the nerve take a long time to regenerate something like 1ml a month. Good luck to you!

@leebg I have been on B12 injections since 1989 monthly following an RNY gastric bypass reversal due to not being a good candidate for the bypass in the reversal I lost the bottom part of my stomach and 3 feet of my small intestines losing my intrinsic factor is what caused my B12 to be needed in an injection form as Iam unable to absorb yhe B12 but thank you for your comment I believe I have discovered what the problem is with my feet and it is actually my spine L3/4/5 according to my neurosurgeon and recent MRI
