Has anyone been prescribed EB-N5?

Hi, zav (@zav)

Just for now, my PCP advises against blood work specifically for B6 but that I monitor any changes in symptoms until she and I meet for my annual in September. I'm still waiting to hear from my neurologist; he may advise otherwise. For now, I'm content, however, particularly now that I see (still to be confirmed, of course) each EB-N5 capsule is 35 mg, not 70 mg. (I plan on calling the manufacturer today for more clarification than just what I read on the bottle.)

I just sent an e-mail to the manufacturer to follow up on my telephone conversation with the pharmacist. So I went for my B6 blood work today, and it may not be covered by Medicare which does not relate B6 to neuropathy. Cost of the test $422!! We will see what Medicare does with it -- they usually pay on things that are unusual or questionable upfront, but there could be another battle coming. I think a professor or neurology knows that B6 is related to the issue!
