Hi David, I started developing peripheral neuropathy 9 years ago in my feet and lower legs, and also more recently in my hands [but to a much lesser extent]. I increasingly experience Afib, which has come along at the same time as my peripheral neuropathy, and it has now gotten to the point when I cannot exert myself [e.g. household chores, walking up stairs] without it causing me to be weak and uncomfortable. I have other symptoms that have developed over this period, but they may or may not be related to my neuropathy.

Have you had your b6 blood level checked? Taking supplements for several months with vitamin b6 even in relatively lower dosage such as 10-20mg has been shown to cause sensory or motor PN as well as autonomic symptons such as irregular heartbeat, blood pressure drops, dizziness etc. B6 is a neurotoxin that can affect motor, sensory, or autonomic nerve fibers.

Welcome @gavinholley, It can be difficult to manage daily chores around the house when you are dealing with multiple conditions. If you don't mind my asking, which symptoms bother you the most?
