I am so discouraged. Looks like I have been on EB-N5 for two weeks now. I did not expect a cure immediately because they told me it could take 3 - 6 months. However, I haven't seen any new bruising, but Friday I began getting shock like nerve pain in my left foot big toe, I believe that's my hallux. It's like these pills possibly took away the numbness and replaced it with feeling and pain. Also, even though I took the pills with food I developed stomach aches. I am getting epidural shots in my back on Wednesday so I thought I should stop the pills because alpha lipoic acid can reduce blood clotting. I stopped taking the pill on Saturday night and the nerve pain in my toe has reduced somewhat today, but not completely. I see my general practioner tomorrow and will see what he says. He is always pushing stem cell and/or infusions so I'm sure he won't be 100% for these pills. By the way my Vitamin B12 in on 3/31 was 1500 and my D-25 hydroxy was 131.0. Both very high. When I stopped taking the B 12 and D3/K2 my B 12 went down to 304 and my D25 went down to 56. This was on 7/3 so maybe I should go back on them. So confusing. After reading some of the other posts on neuropathy I feel lucky that I'm not as bad as so many others. It just that everything I try seems to make my neuropathy worse.
