The Meth/B12 is the only vitamin I still take even though my lab blood level is high (1200). I suffer from Idiopathic small fiber neuropathy. I take Lyrica and just starting taking Tramadol for my buzzing/stabbing/electric-shocks/burning pain. They don't seem to work either. I never tried B5, does that help with I-Neuropathic pain? Thanks ...
Yes, every morning—100 mg. I test negative for diabetes, but my PN responds as if I were. Lately I've read that it's good to take whether it works or not.

r lipoic acid benefits

pantothenic acid neuropathy

If it can't hurt to try it, then it can't hurt to try it.
