Hi, and thank you for all of your suggestions and attention to this.

HbA1C to show average blood sugar levels.
Testing for immune globulins like IgM and IgG, IgA.
Testing for thyroid.
Fasting INSULIN to see if you have insulin resistance which is impaired glucose utilization (not yet diabetes).

All of the above tests have been done both within the last 6 months, and within the last 2 years, and also by 2 different Internist MD's.
There were no issues, and all was normal.
The only direct link they could find, was that my Father had the same "unknown" neuropathy, for the last 20 years of his life. He spent over 10 years trying to find and treat his affliction, with no good results.
I don't have insurance that is as good as what he had, and I have no where near the money that my Father did. So with what I have, I do feel that I've done the best I can. I'm still learning to deal with it though.
For some reason, health wise, I've gotten most everything that my Father had, in his later years of life.
Another thing I can tell you is I've had test after test, regarding my vitamin levels, and they have always come back normal as well.
Even my podiatrist had those tested, and was one of the first things he wanted to know. After him came the Orthopedic Specialist, to give my spine a complete exam.
That one put me in the poor house. The results showed nothing, so then it was back to the Neurologist.
I've been taking Centrum Multivitamins since my mid 20's, and still to this day,

chronic pain itself is a major drain on energy. some people report a boost in energy from taking B complex or b12 itself. i never got that energy boost from them. just living with PN wears you out add medicine and doctors appointments and struggling to accomplish tasks that formerly were easy and its not too hard to understand why we are drained.

Thank you echoes long ago!
This is what I suspected. So this being known, I'd just like to be able to increase my energy level!
I just don't want to go and start popping herbal supplements, without knowing what I'm doing.
Thanks again everyone, for your time, and advice!
