Default What's the latest in vitamin regimens?

Every few years, I think I'll see if a vitamin regimen would be helpful and then don't do anything about it. Maybe this time I'll get on the program, because various symptoms are getting worse.
I don't have PN but CIDP -- not much pain, but big fuzziness in my feet, now my calves and most recently my fingers. Lots of muscle atrophy in legs and fingers. Bad balance -- but I go stand-up-paddle surfing every day, so it's not as bad it it could be, I suppose.
Don't take any meds specifically for my CIDP, though I do take synthroid for hypothy. issue; an antidepressant; antabuse, to keep me from drinking; and 5mg Adderall daily, just to keep me moving.
Last time I thought about supplements, this is what I was thinking about:
300 mg benfotamine b1
200 mg R-lipoc (is this the same as ALA?)
4000 mcg Methyl B-12
Fish oil

This sound right? Am I missing anything for a basic protocol?

Should I be looking at allithiamine instead of benfot. for my B1?
What about curcumin?

Previously, I'd thought about also taking Centrum Silver and Janos B complex, but the thought of adding more pills to my already over-pilled world is not a happy one.

Maybe I should just go with one of those Nerve Support Formulas that people talk about and supplement it fill out the roster.

Thoughts, anyone?

p.s. -- if i wanted to just start with two supplements, which two should it be?
