Controlling the Anger and Sadness: My Neuropathy is Overtaking Me

Thanks so much Lori Renee - this is why I like this forum, we get coaching and ideas that our medical doctors don’t give! I am going to try the Benfotiamine for starts. I googled, and while articles talk specifically about it possibly helping diabetic neuropathy (which I do not have), I can’t see any harm in it. Doctors have been unable to answer my question if relief for diabetic neuropathy has similar results for idiopathic neuropathy… Since I was told 5 years ago I “may” have had a vitamin deficiency, but they don’t know which one, perhaps adding this B1 would be magical. Thanks sincerely for your input. Debbie

Have you seen a Hematologist? The one I see is very good at monitoring and maintaining my vitamin levels.

Debbie, My best guess is that it doesn't matter the origins of your neuropathy. What does matter is if you happen to be low in thiamine. My reaction to the Benfotiamine was so quick that I imagine I had to have been low in thiamine. For me, the Benfotiamine made a giant difference. If I can help anyone here, I am happy. We get little from our doctors because there is no real treatment that is successful. Anything that has helped me has been from the people here. Good luck, Debbie! Lori Renee
