When you had the teeth removed, did they give you Nitrous Oxide first before the other anesthesia?
My son had that done, that way.
A big blast of Nitrous can precipitate PN in some people... it deranges the B12 chemisry.
This is an old study...

Neurologic degeneration associated with nitrous oxide anesthesia in patients with vitamin B12 deficiency.

Abstract
Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) is an integral component of two biochemical reactions in man: the conversion of L-methylmalonyl coenzyme A into succinyl coenzyme A and the formation of methionine by methylation of homocysteine. The transmethylation reaction is essential to DNA synthesis and to the maintenance of the myelin sheath by the methylation of myelin basic protein. Active vitamin B12 contains cobalt in its reduced form (Co+). Nitrous oxide produces irreversible oxidation to the Co++ and Co forms that renders vitamin B12 inactive. Five cases (four from the literature and one new case) are presented in which patients unsuspected of having vitamin B12 deficiency developed subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord following nitrous oxide anesthesia. Patients with vitamin B12 deficiency are exceedingly sensitive to neurologic deterioration following nitrous oxide anesthesia. If unrecognized, the neurologic deterioration becomes irreversible and may result in death.

It is also possible that the Amoxicillin disrupted your GI bacteria enough to change something for you. Do you recall any loose stools or diarrhea from it? Replacing some bacteria with a good Kefir (like Lifeway which has 12 different strains)...may help you restore yourself. Disturbances of GI bacteria are a hot topic right now and suggested for many neurological problems today in the research. Yogurt typically does not have many active cultures, so Kefir would be better. I think this is definitely worth a try.
