Hi madmax,
Sorry you find yourself here, but you have a lot of company.
Many of us are idiopathic and have no clue why we have neuropathy despite extensive work-ups. I'm currently exploring any possible genetic cause having taken an whole exome test. I'm on my own doing this, though. I have to sift through my results.
Are you here in the U.S.? The one thing I've not done is had a full-blown Lyme Disease work-up. At least one person here discovered the source of her problems doing that. I have a local Lyme Literate Doctor (LLD), but he doesn't take insurance, and it's $800 for the first appointment. That doesn't include any testing.
