Hi Neil.... I'd get tested for B12 levels and Vit D.

Low B12 can cause optic neuritis. If your report comes back below 500, I'd supplement. Some doctors follow old testing guidelines and call 150-400 normal, which is it not for many
people who present with neuro symptoms.

Please visit out peripheral neuropathy forum and Vitamin forum for more details.
