Benfotiamine seems to be making a difference

Posted by bethiemae @bethiemae, Mar 11 9:37am

I'm not diabetic and don't have nerve pain. I have numbness and tingling, and issues with balance and walking distances. Neurologist thinks my Neuropathy is hereditary.
I have been taking 300 mg Benfotiamine every morning for 3 months. My feet are less numb and my fingers have stopped tingling. Both toes and fingers are more sensitive and more reactive to pressure. I think this is a good thing, but am having to use softer intersoles in my shoes and find my fingers more sensitive when using them to open containers, etc. I'd love to know others' experiences with Benfotiamine.

Hi @bethiemae, I think there are quite a few members on Connect that have shared their experience with Benfotiamine which is the synthetic version of Vitamin B1 (thiamine). Here's a search of Connect that lists the comments from other members who have posted about using Benfotiamine - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/comments/?search=Benfotiamine .
