@gbrodnan1945, Interesting question, I've only had low iron recently due to giving blood to often. Here's a couple of articles discussion the topic that might shed some light for you.

Thank you for the articles. My conclusion is that the role of iron in peripheral neuropathy is not clear. I find it strange that my symptoms got much worse with low iron and ferritin followed by ongoing iron supplements designed to increase levels. I wish it was as simple as correcting iron levels and PN would go away.
