I'll admit I'm pretty much a hard head, but my wife came across a posting on facebook from an older fellow, who swears he had good pain relief just a week after taking Benfotiamine. He also claims that he had friends who did the same.
I've taken regular thiamine for quite awhile now & really don't think it's benefiting me, but I like a beer (sometimes 2) in the evening & know the body is depleted of thiamine, by alcohol.

Since I had some new forefoot burning start to develop at the end of summer, I've also started taking some chelated magnesium (Started with epsom lotion). Has any one here had any kind of pain relief they can attribute directly to Benfotiamine or even Magnesium?

I guess it's no good to be impatient, but I did say I was a hard head.
