I use a B12 sublingual, which I can manage.

I have to crush most supplements....there is no way I can swallow them with my esophageal status.

I am to be honest, a bit intimidated by all the supplements and how they could potentially affect me, with the autonomic neuropathy and all.

Thiamine, is likely fairly benign? Benfotamine is? And last question, is Lipoic Acid toxic at all?

I am totally on the fence on Vitamin D, since it is supposed to be BAD for autoimmune disease?? or not?? I am out in the sun all day in summer and my vit. D soars.

I can't really eat normally due to my autonomic stuff....poor appetite...nausea...If I could just eat all the good stuff I grow, i would be set. I also don't eat enough protein and I wonder about all these drinks with soy in terms of pesticide residue. I live in soy and corn country and I see all the insect like machines they use to spray, and spray and spray the fields. My grandson that I care for is on Soy formula and I cringe every time I have to mix it...there is no evidence he is lactose intolerant, and I don't see why he can't be on milk formula.

I have to go put a cold compress on my bruises, and neurontin makes me forget the foreign languages I speak. I could not even remember how to say 'thank you' in Spanish last nite. (I review my languages while I am falling asleep.)
