HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, apart from the vitamin supplements such complaints may not be due neuropathy but it could be nonspecific may be due to geriatric problem, take care in balance diet and of course you can have extra vitamins but it need to be taken under medical super vision, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day
