I feel for you. For many..and don't speak for all. It is the unknown factor that really is upsetting. The idio aspect drives me crazy. Cause and affect. Point A to Point B. It is so easy to treat a cut, or high blood pressure. But peripheral neuropathy is a bugger! When I began getting the early signs 5 years ago, I just didn't understand what the heck was happening to my feet. Today....most of the time, I have it under control. Proper diet, exercise (when able), and the dosing of meds that seem to work....allows me to function. Work at finding the best solution to your problem and maintain that plan as best you can.
