CAL-MAG CHELATED
VITAMIN D (D-3) 2000 IU
METHYLCOBALAMIN VITAMIN B-12 1000 mcg
CO Q-10 plus L-CARNITINE 50/100 mg
... hopefully that will give me a decent start on the supplements. I think I will try that along with trying to live without the ibuprofen, cutting back on the alcohol intake, investigating diet changes, asking my foot doc to have a go with the Neurontin (gabapentin), looking into the magnets and patches, trying to get a vitamin chart (or whatever the test is called), and take it from there .... maybe adding one piece at a time would be a good idea though, huh (so I can tell better what is working, or what isnt), or should I jsut shoot the moon and go for broke ? Thanks again for all the tips.

This is a good start. The CoQ10 and carnitine may be too low a dose to see results. But none of your list is "harmful" in any way at this point. One thing about food is that certain additives like MSG can over excite nerves and give lots of problems. So with your dietary attention, avoid the MSG (monosodium glutamate) as much as possible. Also do not overdo on salt. When you start
Neurontin, there may be fluid retention, and eating salty foods (which are common in most restaurants) can make that more likely.
There is a guy who writes books, and publishes on Yahoo...
various lists of terrible restaurant food choices. Eat this and Not That is his moniker.
This is the website he is featured on:
eatthis.menshealth.com/
I cannot get this to load for me...I've had some computer DSL problems this weekend. But when that site is available check him out. He will explain why certain things are unhealthy, and then give you an example of what instead is similar and better.
Your library, may have his books too. And he has been a guest on Rachel Ray's show. I think he is very good for showing how you can eat tasty stuff and avoid the pitfalls of unhealthy food.
