Your SVT may be an extention of your peripheral neuropathy...as in autonomic neuropathy. My ablation was for cardiac rate/rhythm problems related to autonomic neuropathy.

I wrote a long reply to Kay about autonomic neuropathy (dysautonomia). It's lost somewhere. However, Kay, I strongly suggest you check it out with both your Neuro and your cardiologist. Meds and anesthesia all work differently with dysautonomia. *admin edit* Can tell you a lot and prepare you to deal with typically mystified docs. (Which yours must be...since they have not put your two conditions together). They have hand-outs to download for doctors!
My neuro insisted I could not have dysautonomia because I had high blood pressure and did not faint (POTS is a type of dysautonomia with precipitous drops in bp, rise in hrs, and fainting). I and my PCP had to gang up on him for me to be biopsied....positive results. I have both sensory and autonomic neuropathy....now verified by a dysautonomia specialist.
Anyway, if my other post goes through this will redundant...but it is can important message.
Best of luck...
