Vitamin B complex

Posted by robyng @robyng, Nov 30, 2023

I've been doing some reading that B complex helps in alleviating peripheral neuropathy symptoms. Has anyone had any success with this? Thank you.

I don't feel like it's progressing fast, so I think it must be helping. Too much B6 can cause neuropathy problems and he encourages a B12 shot once a week or month but I do not do that.

Thank you. Does your neurologist periodically check your B6 level? When it reaches a certain level, would you take B6 as a supplement again? I have read that B6 is also good for nerves too. I have a formula from Nervitalize that I was taking. It has 4 mg of B6. My last test for B6 had dropped to 45.

My B6 level at last check was down to 49 so will continue taking B's separately. I will take a look at the Nervitalize though, thank you.

Can you explain what you mean by taking B's separately? Thank you.

Sounds like the medication called Metanx, which worked for me for quite some time. Now, I'm just starting to use a Ketamine(10)/Lidocaine(5)/Tertrcaine(.75%) spray because my feet burn terribly at night, under the direction of a Pain Management doctor. The spray has been helpful, so I hope that the reduction in burning pain continues to work.

I do not take a B-Complex, I take B2, B3, B5 and B12 supplements (No B6).

I’ve been taking Vit B complex for over a year. For me it is a miracle. After thousands of dollars on clinical processes to address numbness tingling and pain over a 6 month period, I still had pain sensations especially at night. After researching many over the counter options and ingredients, I saw Thiamin, Vit B as an ongoing ingredient. So I get Nature Made B Complex with 2,000% Thiamin. I’ve been out of pain for over a year as a result. I understand every human body is different though, so wishing all good luck. P. S. My lab work is very healthy, I’m 74 yrs old. .

Get B100’s. It contains all the B vitamins at 100% . It’s not cheap. Around $28 at Walgreens. Norco is not working anymore after 7 years. I see my pain specialist in a month. I will ask about something stronger. I hate taking these pills after 2 failed spine surgeries.
