Good morning, Ed (@njed)

“ … what is in EB-N5 that makes this available only by prescription?”

Good question. Frankly, I don’t know the answer. If something like alpha lipoic can be purchased OTC, why not EB-N5? Could it nothing more than EB-N5’s approval process is crawling through the corridors of the FDA like a Galapagos tortoise? I’ve told the EB-N5 manufacturer to hold off with my next auto-refill until I can talk to my neurodoc and find out if he thinks I should continue taking it. You’d think I should be able to answer that question for myself, but my life has been all about sepsis for the past four months. I’ve all but forgotten about my PN. But my sepsis is fading. I know my PN is waiting, ready with its various symptoms, to return to centerstage.

How are things with you, Ed?

I have taken EB-N5 for a couple of years. Since it is pharmaceutical strength and not OTC strength, it requires a prescription.
