Welcome to NeuroTalk:

There are some things you can do for yourself right now.

To help with the eyes and PN... start using a quality fish oil, 2-3 caps a day with food, or 2 Krill oil. This will help with the eyes and inflammation. Also 1-5mg of biotin may help this too.
Omega-3 fats are now used in ophthomology to treat eye disorders.

Also make sure your B12 and Vit D are tested. You should be at 400pg/ml at least (ask for the numbers) and a level of 50 for the D. Sometimes doctors test but don't interpret the results accurately yet.

Soaking in epsom salts baths may help with magnesium issues.
Magnesium works with Omega-3's to help repair tissue. 4-6oz in a bath of lukewarm water for 20 minutes may help the feet and legs. You and rub the water over your arms too.

These will help until you get a clearer diagnostic result.
