That is the typical dose for nerve damage.
Thiamine is not toxic, so nothing serious can happen.
There is a BETTER form, called benfotiamine. We have a thread on PN on page 1 right now about it. I used to take the thiamine, but have switched to the newer form which is better because it is lipid soluble.
I fail so see what the ear drum hole and the nerve damage have to do with each other however. I had both ear drums punctured and drained by an ENT long ago when I had a double infection when I was working midnights.
I don't think they healed exactly well, since fluid does still drain out of there at times.
What symptoms did your husband have?
