But one thing stands out for me initially in reading your opening post.
Dilantin is a known cause of neuropathy.
If you Google "phenytoin neuropathy" you can read all about it.
There are other possibilities at this time...mostly you should get your actual B12 result in numbers.... WNL is not adequate since many labs report low levels as "normal" still in this day and age!

I have wondered if the Dilantin has added to this. I have been on this med for almost 39 years. I said my labs were wnl as I have the results with the normals on the results. My B12 was 319 with normal range listed as 211-946.
I also wonder if my nasty smoking habit has added to this as well. It just feels related to something in pelvic/groin area alot of times. as I have said I just don't know. Think I am falling apart. I was also really watching how I ate until right before this started and went back on the bad carbs and junk. Some of it is common sense but I just really want to know if it is pn and why?
