Default Any ideas.....

Hi. I am to the forum. I have been having neuropathy symptoms for about 6 months but can not get a diagnosis.I thought I would describe my situation and see if anyone had any ideaas

Me:
44. Male. Athletic (have athletic endeavors anyways). Moderate drinker (10-12 per week light beers).

Symptoms:
Stinging pains in hands and feet that come and go. They hit my hands and feet simultsneously. Numbness of balls of my feet. All symptoms came on quite suddenly. I can go 1 or 2 days with no or little symptoms. But then can have days when I am pretty miserable.

Tests/Labs:
NCV/EMG mild bilateral lesions
Vitamin levels of concern B12=350 D=31
Unusual finding = ANA positive & RNP 1.5
These were found by the tests my Neuro ran.
Followed up with rheumatologist who ran her own tests.
ANA came back negative. RNP was still 1.5.
Rheumy said she does not think problem is from connective tissue disease. Refering me to a different neuro for 3rd opinion.

If anyone has any ideas or questions I should ask my new neuro it would be appreciated. Thank you!
