I wish I had something to add, just wanted to let you know my thoughts are with you. I know that doesn't help much.

I can say, my neuropathy started in my hands..my feet didn't follow until a few years later. We think mine is from B12 deficiency because of gluten intolerance. Thankfully, I do not have much pain for now. Mine is more in the irratating nature, buzzing, numbness, balance issues, and such. I do take 5000mcg of B12 daily, going to see how I do on 3000mcg, since my B12 level is so high now.

My neuropathy didn't seem to change with weather either, until this year. It has been very cold here on Long Island, and the cold does seem to be effecting me this year. My fingers are numb all the time, Raynauds has returned with a vengeance this year.
