Hi @alistair01, are you taking thiamine hydrochloride (vitamin B1) under the guidance of your neurologist? I believe you mentioned working with a dietitian as well. I might recommend speaking to a professional about increasing dosages of any medication or supplement so they can work with you to determine the dosage most beneficial for you.

I will thank this Italian neurologist everyday of my life. He gave me my life back. Doctor Costantini - “Why is this? Because there is no medicine or drug that is able to affect all of the organs, whereas all of the organs function thanks to Thiamine. An important detail”, adds doctor Costantini, “the Thiamine therapy brings no collateral damage with time”.

Hello @alistair01

I would agree with @colleenyoung's message of yesterday that you do not increase your dosage of any supplement without your neurologist's knowledge of what you are doing. While a supplement might seem harmless it needs to have the OK from your treating doctor.
