I know that dry eyes are part of small fiber neuropathy, but a couple of weeks ago my left eye began doing odd things--blurry, vision impaired, jumping, etc.,--so I saw the ophthalmologist that has cared for my eyes for the past 15 years including two cataract surgeries. He's frequently commented that my eyes are very healthy, but this week he thinks what's going on in my left eye is connected to my neuropathy. Now the damn neuropathy has hit me from head to toe...where else is it going to get me?

steeldove, the vision issues you mentioned including neuropathy match symptoms from a possible thiamine deficiency. The lack of vitamin B1 is the cause of a long list of health issues instigated by a deficiency of sufficient magnesium needed to make thiamine bioactive. Thiamine tetrahydrofurfuryl is a thiamine form that passes through the blood/brain barrier and is worth researching. Always consult with your health care professional before using any supplement.
