Lar,
Long time no talk.
FWIW, here are some flow diagrams with better detail of the Folate Cycle and the associated Methylation Cycle:
See page 5;

http://www.cnsspectrums.com/aspx/articledetail.aspx?articleid=1267As an aside, here is an article from 2006 entitled "New and Emerging Treatment Options for Neuropathic Pain". I doubt that there is much, if anything, in the article that you are not already aware of, but I thought I'd send it along anyway.
What caught my eye when I first read the article a year or so ago is the tx of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) using a combination of L-methylfolate, P-5-P, and B12. See paragraph 10, not counting the abstract. DPN has nothing to do with your neuropathic pain, but here's the link anyway:
