Confused newly diagnosed

So my husband Dean has a vp shunt and has started having seizures. which took us to a neurologist, who on initial exam noted something with dean's feet. sent us for a nerve conduction test, which shows severe peripheral neuropathy. He is not diabetic or an alcoholic. so unsure where this has come from. He doesn't have the pain just numbness. He remembers his feet burning a lot as a child. since then he has had several episodes where he has fallen, some we think are seizure related but wondering if the neuropathy is playing a role in the falling as well? going for a sleep study with EEG on wed. Any advise or info would be greatly appreciated. We are very confused by all this.
