I also quit smoking (AGAIN!) :-) at the same time just in case that was causing the numbness to become worse. Now 7 days on and the symptoms have decreased a lot, so I guess I am going to start taking 1 supplement at a time and see what happens, im very sure that some of them do make my neuropathy worse.
