I did some reading about MTHFR. On SNPedia (excellent website for checking individual DNA variations by the way http://www.snpedia.com), Rs1801133 (C667T) is categorized as a Magnitude 3 ("Probably worth your time") on a scale of 0-10 however, I do believe based on my result and what it can potentially cause, that it very well may be the cause for my idiopathic PN.

Here is where I am stuck. I then went to MTHFR.net, where went down the referral list of practitioners in my area that specialize in MTHFR and as I check the website of each, I find that many are anti-aging "wellness experts" that charge annual fees up to $3000. I am in good financial shape, I can afford it but I am also a wise person and red flags go up for me when I see very little about MTHFR buried in an abundance of information on botox and juvederm injections to appear more youthful.

I've got the youthful part down, just need a real medical professional to talk to about MTHFR and how it relates to peripheral neuropathy.
