B 12 LEVELS TOO: Neuropathy can happen with low B12 and can easily be treated but can be permanent if left too long. Make sure b 12 levels were also checked along with folate also make sure that you are not diabetic.

Nerve health...: Can be associated with low folate (folic acid) levels. There are some vitamin/medical food supplements which have a high bioavailable form of Folic Acid and can help relieve some of the symptoms.
