Welcome to NeuroTalk:

There are some things you can do for yourself right now.

To help with the eyes and PN... start using a quality fish oil, 2-3 caps a day with food, or 2 Krill oil. This will help with the eyes and inflammation. Also 1-5mg of biotin may help this too.
Omega-3 fats are now used in ophthomology to treat eye disorders.

Also make sure your B12 and Vit D are tested. You should be at 400pg/ml at least (ask for the numbers) and a level of 50 for the D. Sometimes doctors test but don't interpret the results accurately yet.

Soaking in epsom salts baths may help with magnesium issues.
Magnesium works with Omega-3's to help repair tissue. 4-6oz in a bath of lukewarm water for 20 minutes may help the feet and legs. You and rub the water over your arms too.

These will help until you get a clearer diagnostic result.

You mentioned you take a multi vitamin to get all your B vitamins. I take all mine seperate to avoid the B6 supplement as it irritates my nerves. I avoid it supplemented in anyting like breafast cereals and sports drinks. I have found others that it bothers too. Something to look into that might help.

I am going to have to get my head round the supplements lol, I have always taken the multi vit and have just checked it does have vit B6 in it so looks like I need to sort out what I need to take. Thanks for the advice

An ice pack at night is the only thing helping at the moment, I am just going to make myself a cover for it rather than a tea towel.

Feeling wiped out today I think from this carbamazepine is making my feel grotty, but not helping with the pain yet.
