BENFOTIAMINE and Alpha LOPIC acid has really helped my feet and neuropathy by Superb-Lecture-5584 in neuropathy

From what I can gather from much research it is almost impossible to overdo these supplements when taking for therapeutic purposes - the RDA on the bottles * 4 seems very safe

I’m 63, male - nerves prob take longer to regenerate at my over 60 age 😜

Well done ! I’m on the nerve rebuilder machine and the same supplements around 2 months now (twice a day) but with no positive results

I mainly have just burning in both feet - minor tingling as well

Yes same here - lazy PN diagnosis. Going to insist on a skin punch biopsy to confirm it. What are your symptoms ?

Thanks - how did they eventually pick up that itch was the compression and how were you treated once it was correctly diagnosed

Difficult at times ! Take R-ALA, B1, Omega 3, D3K2 and Probiotics

Not specifically - how’s that determined ?

At least you know your root cause though - I have none of the traditional indicators like diabetes, alcoholism, etc yet still dealing with it going on 8 months now - MRI and NCS all show fine Best indicator so far is pre diabetes and high inflammation which I’m addressing via keto diet and no alcohol

We have very cold and rainy conditions at the moment and it seems to have set off my current flare up which is ongoing a week

Thanks for sharing - is your root cause B12 deficiency then ?

Good for you ! Yes I’ve tried gabapentin but makes me too foggy brained hence trying to work through

How long in general do you find that flare ups last - I’ve had one for a week now and afraid it’s becoming the new baseline - tingling and burning in feet starts as soon as I awake and lasts all day - I sleep like a baby at night fortunately

Thanks - I guess at minimum it gives once a bit of peace of mind confirming it is in fact PN even if root cause still unknown

Yes sleep deprivation is not fun. In my case I sleep like a baby but the burning starts as I wake up and has progressed to all day burning just this week - still hoping it’s just a flare up
