It sounds like you're in very good hands. I'm happy for you. I'm also glad to hear they offered you an herbal option - out of curiosity, what was it? I especially think the one step at a time and further testing, given your background, is a sound course of action. With so much incompetence, it's nice to finally something like this.

it's funny you mention your symptoms before the neuropathy came on the scene, since I've been thinking about it in my own case. In fact, last night my wife and I spoke about how before my heart palpitations and any of the dry flaking skin on my hands or numb hands, I started to get soars on the bottom of my toes, and that then we thought it might be due to the large amount of mold in the bathtub at the time. We couldn't get it out and it would come back every week, mostly pink but also some black, and we finally changed the tub. So, perhaps my situation goes back to mold toxicity. Just trying to think about my past and find the cause.

I'd be very interesting in anything more you have to say about your own background. And I've also had rashes, or itchy spots, but I think it's not so much rashes as it is a histamine overload.

Anyway, I wish you the best as you begin to heal yourself and try to discover more of the puzzle.
