I have been dieting (I need to lose 100 lbs, which I am sure will help the pain when I get there). My D levels were as follows:

Vitamin D, 1.25 Dihydroxy = 29 Range is 19 to 67
Vitamin D, 25-Oh, Total = 16 inidcated low 20 -100 is normal

Thanks and have a great 2009!!!
Dtiamin D 25-OH, D3 = 16
Vitamin D, 25-Oh, D2 <4


Vitamin E was right on target.

I am sorry I did not pay more attention in Chemistry class.

I am not even sure that this is all neuropathy, given that my pain DOES NOT get worse at night, and I sleep fine, and have no pain. Also, standing no pain. Wonder if real microcirculation issues are at hand. The pain is so annoying and that is why I was looking at the Neuro Essentials since the Lipoic Acid and Carnithine have proven helpful in some studies.

The other thing is an herb called horse chestnut which improves circulation. Who the heck knows!?
I have been thinking about this detail. If you are wearing tight clothing, tight belts, and sitting on your wallet on that side, this might be an entrapment issue.
Did you have injections on that side when you had the clot?
Did you have any dyes injected?
Some people react to dyes.

If you had a dye injected to visualize the clot, I'd look at antioxidant therapy. A good one today is curcumin which is showing in studies that it reduces endothelial inflammation (lining of blood vessels).
This product has good absorption values:

There are others: quercetin, grape seed extract and resveratrol all show promise.
