--though I am truly sorry for what has brought you here.

It does sound as if you have not had anywhere near as comprehensive a work-up or as specialized an evaluation as you should. Lyme and other tick-borne diseases can certainly result in neurologic symptoms, including neuropathy, but as you may be aware there is much controversy as to the efficiency and accuracy of many of the tests for Lyme and other tick borne infections--one really has to get to a specialty center and/or Lyme literate physician . . .

Also, if you had trouble with Neurontin/gabapentin, which is often given as a first line medication for neurologic pain, you may want to try one of the other anit-epileptics or even an anti-depressant (the latter, in smaller doses than uses for depression, have proven effective in some for neural pain and there may some evidence that one of them, Elavil, can even help damaged nerves regenerate).

You definitely (if you haven't already) look at our Lyme and Peripheral Neuropathy sections:
