That's what I expect at this point but I can't seem to get a confirmation. Hell I can't even get a diagnosis on what is causing this. I got a differential diagnosis when all of this started and now it's turned into "you don't have any of the bad stuff so here's some gabapentin to go away."

if you are in the US go to a peripheral neuropathy center. you can get a skin punch biopsy to test for small fiber peripheral neuropathy. you have to be your own advocate.

Just a quick update. On a whim I decided to get my B6 tested and it was at 61 ng/mL with the normal range 2.1-21.7. Sounds like B6 toxicity which can cause neuropathy. Good news is that once stopping B6 it should improve. So for now no energy drinks, multivitamin, cereal, or anything else that has b6. Sucks but at least I may have an answer.
