aldehyde excess metronidazole can cause.
Also the damage this drug causes tends to be
to the myelin of the axons. Some studies show
white spots to the myelin in the brain, for example.
So using nutrients that facilitate myelin repair
may be useful.
omega-3 in fish or Krill oil
Methyl cobalamin B 12
Methyl folate as Metafolin 800mcg daily
A good magnesium supplement (not oxide type)
some activated B6 called P5P
All help with this. You can find more suggestions
By Googling "supplements for remyelination"
I think acetyl carnitine may help too because
It is used successfully in other drug induced
Nerve damage issues. (Eg:chemo and antiretroviral treatments)
Start at 500mg a day and you can increase to 2 grams
A day in divided doses .

Dear Mrs D
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH, for your reply especially as you are on holiday.
I am so very frightened as I know everyone on this site is or certainly has been and I really due appreciate you taking this time.
I am taking B!" methylcobalmin 1000 mg a day
Should I take a complex vit b that includes P5P B6 or one on its own
Is there anything I can do with diet, I am gluten,yeast and sugar, alcohol free.
I am taking 2 EPA fish oil capsules a day.
Shall I continue with the alopoic acid.
I will start the acetyl l carntnine.
I am very sensitive to medication so I am trying to be sensible even with supplement.

I will of course google remylination
ThankYou Again, you are so very kiind.
I wish you a happy vacation
