You will find "hormonal imbalance" casually mentioned as a cause of PN in a few places, but it is not well understood as best I can tell.

Did you PN start when you became pregnant? Maybe a change in hormones which obviously happens during pregnancy is part of the issue.

"In many cases, a different type of medical problem, such as a kidney condition or a hormone imbalance, leads to peripheral neuropathy."
