Default Not Sure What To Do Next With Docs

Hello. I am new to this site. I am seeking advice. Although I have chronic anxiety (predominantly health related), for the last year, something just hasn't felt right. My GP ran bloodwork on two separate occasions (three months apart +). She did a CBC, Liver Function, Rheumatoid Factor, ANA, ESR? (other inflammation marker), Diabetes, Thyroid, and various vitamin level checks. The only item of concern was Vitamin D deficiency (18-19), and on the low end of Vitamin B. I have taken supplements now for 8+ months. I recently saw a rheumatologist, who also cleared me for any of the major autoimmune diseases (e.g. Lupus, RA). I mentioned to him (and my GP), however, that my feet feel like they are on fire in the middle of the night. I put them out of the covers, but they are often still uncomfortable. This does not happen every night, but roughly once a week. Occasionally, when it happens, my feet are sore when I step out of bed, but 10 steps later, the pain is gone, and my day is completely normal. I have experienced foot cramps, muscle twitches, and a buzzing sensation - but again, not very regularly. Anyhow, I'm not really sure what to do next. Of course I have googled this, and neuropathy pops up. I'm just wondering, do these sound like familiar symptoms...should I request to see a neurologist? Thank you in advance
