10 yrs is a long time...when long time issues are present, I'd look to diet as well. Gluten is the prime cause of long term neuropathy. But other foods may affect you. Nightshade veggies, dairy, soy etc. Doing an elimination diet carefully for one thing at a time, may be very revealing for you.

I take it you have had autoimmune testing to rule out Lupus and other autoimmune diseases?

If you are taking any RX drugs, look at them carefully. Many drugs can be culprits in PN.
Thanks, I'll check out the diet (I'm taking D already). The only Rx drug I take is thyroid.
