You're welcome, and good luck! Two more things I didn't mention, and are probably in the articles and may have already been tested for, are diabetes and thyroid disease. The important thing is that there are many possible causes for neuropathy, and you want to keep looking for additional factors that may be contributing.

Keep us posted .

P.S. I want to stress the importance of B12... because B12 deficiency can cause both PN and ataxia (and a whole lot more). It commonly goes undetected when it occurs in the absence of anemia (and it often does). You want a B12 level that is upper range or over the top if you have any neurological symptoms. The blood levels can normalize quickly, so don't start supplementing until after blood is drawn for testing. The repairs can take months to years depending upon the degree and duration of damage. There are a couple of pages devoted to B12 deficiency in TGF.
