The following doesn’t mention vitamin D3. I had terrible pain so that I couldn’t sleep more than a couple of hours at a time. I took 50,000 IU/day for three days and then 10,000 IU/day. The pain was gone in a week.
"The following supplements have been shown to reduce the pain associated with neuropathy:"
■Fat-soluble vitamin B1 (benfotiamine) – 150 milligrams (mg) one to three times daily
■Acetyl-L-carnitine – 2000 mg daily
■R-lipoic acid – 300 to 450 mg daily (or alpha-lipoic acid: 600 to 1000 mg daily)
■NAC – 600 mg daily
■Curcumin – 800 to 1600 mg daily
■Gamma linolenic acid (GLA) – 900 to 2700 mg daily
■EPA/DHA – 4000 mg daily, providing at least 1400 mg EPA and 1000 mg DHA
■Vitamin B6 – 100 mg daily
■Vitamin B12 – 1000 micrograms (mcg) of the methylcobalamin form, taken one to four times daily (up to 40 mg daily methylcobalamin may be used in extreme cases)
■Vitamin C – about 2500 mg daily
■Vitamin E – 400 international units (IU) daily (with around 200 mg gamma tocopherol)
