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!?

Mark,
I was diagnosed with mild sensory, motor idiopathic PN. I also have no problems at night, only when I am off my feet, walking is ok. I do not have the tingling while walking. Maybe our PN will disapear, just like it came, abruptly. I still find it hard to believe that I got this monster, mine is mild too, I feel terrible for people with severe PN. This is terrible. I started my vitamin regimen also, I also have an appt at the Univ Of Chicago Jack Miller, suppose to be tops In Peripheral Neuropathy. hope it helps Good Luck, and keep us informed, Lynn
