Supplements that have helped are,
B12 methylcobalamin 1 -5 mg daily [ on an empty stomache ]
gamma-linolenic acid - 480 mg daily [ 2x 240 mg]
R lipioc acid - 100 mg daily
Thiamine 100 mg x 3 tabs daily.

It is very hard at first to work out if the nerves are healing or flaring up, at least in my case I couldn't tell the differance for at least 8 months then the symptoms become less severe and less often which went on for a few years until they were completly healed.

best of luck to you
Brian
