Instead, they seem to have made them much worse. I was having some moderate anemia symptoms, and mild neuropathy. Then, within days of starting the supplements, the neuropathy pain has skyrocketed the highest in over a decade.
Very discouraging.
Thanks again.

Hey Eric,
I don't know the answer but ...
I have alcohol induced PN. I gave up alcohol on February 2nd but I didn't hit peak symptoms until the end of March, beginning of April. I don't know why there was that delay ( can any reader explain please?) but there was. Given the whole host of health issues you endured, I can't help thinking the timing of your symptoms was coincidental with your supplementation.
Surely you have to treat the whole body and your anaemia has to be treated.
I wish you well.
