Default Selenium causing peipheral neuropathy?

First time posting here in the 'vitamin' area...

I want to find out, does anyone have experience with excessive selenium intake - oral, supplements - leaving them with exacerbated PN?

I've had a spreading, small fiber neuropathy for six months that has now just about incapacitated me. I've had and am having every test performed I can, seeing multiple neurologists and Pain docs, and, in a way so stupid it astounds me, have never brought up that I had been taking about 150-175mcg a day for a long time. Today I discovered that a symptom of selenium over -dosage is peripheral neuropathy. Anyone have any info on this?

Thanks...
