First, thank you VERY for your reply.

I'll do my best to answer:

How old are you?
43

Do you take statin drugs for cholesterol or have had antibiotics from fluoroquinolone family in the recent past, or Flagyl (metronidazole).
No

Have you been evaluated for MS? Had an MRI to exclude it?
Had MRI. Everything normal.

Have you had your B12 measured and is it over 400pg/ml?
Vit D also...? goal for that is 50.
Had previous issues with Vit D but it's good now. B12 is ok.

Do you know your A1C?
Unfortunately, I'm not sure about A1C. I'll try to find out. I know they did test but didn't say anything about it.

Do you drink alcohol regularly?
None (although I might start if this keeps up!)

Do you get vaccines?
Yes

Have you considered a food intolerance like gluten intolerance?
I had workup for celiac. All tests came back ok. Maybe I should try to eat gluten free for awhile just to see?

Also nightshades can be problematic for some people.
Ok. Thanks. Didn't know that.

Are you exposed to toxins, pesticides or fungicides in your job or hobbies? Solvents? Like cleaning up greasy oily hands?
I'm a computer consultant so I did office work before all of this happened. Haven't been able to work regularly now for awhile unfortunately. How long could those types of things be a problem? I paid my way through school in manufacturing environment, and exposure was common to many solvents, but that's been 15 years.

Did your doctor test you for a heavy metal load? (mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic? )
Normal from what I remember.


One of the neuros suggested an autonomic neuropathy while the other believes it's peripheral. I definitely don't understand although I'm trying to learn as I go now. Thank you very much for your time -- it's very kind of you to offer the help!
