Question

Oh, my. Sounds complex and confusing. You've been thru alot!

I would first look at your medications you are taking for the epilepsy. (many can lower calcium and Vit D, and Depakote can cause carnitine deficiency.) Did you have Chemo for the cancer?
(this can cause neuropathies). Did you have Levaquin or Cipro for the pneumonia? Or Flagyl? These antibiotics have caused PN in some people.

So could you post what you take currently? And also include what you may have recently changed. Do you take Statins or acid lowering drugs for the stomach?

Have you had serum levels for B12 and Vit D done? What were the numbers the doctor reported to you if so?
