Default Return of severe pain after a decade

Hi, I have axonal polyneuropathy (diagnosed by NCV/EMG by two different neurologists). I was put on Lyrica and after a year of pretty bad pain and numbness, things improved and for over 10 years, I had relatively little disability (I couldn't walk a long way without bad pain afterwards, but otherwise fine).

Recently, I suffered from an episode of acute pancreatitis, and ended up diagnosed afterwards with gastroparesis. I had become severely anemic (iron deficiency), so I was told to try supplements or I'd need to do the infusions. I had found out I was also really low in Vit D. As such, I added supplements in iron (lactoferrin) and Vit D.

Since then, I've been having dramatically worse neuropathy pain. I'm pretty sure it's related to taking the iron, or possibly the Vit D.

Has anyone experienced this? I really want to go back to the way things were!

By B12 is supposedly fine: it's been tested several times between 500-600.

Thank you,
Eric
