B1 (thiamine) as BENFOTIAMINE, 80 mg one 2x a week, later on one 3x a week
Had to order these on-line - Doctor's Best brand
Multi-vitamin mineral complex, once a day
R-alpha lipoic acid (not the "S" formula) 100 mg once a week
Found these at an organic/specialty market in town
Too cautiouis to do the ultra high doses of these, although I read an abstract by Japanese researchers who said that in "very high" doses, B12 as methylcobalamin can be effective against peripheral neuropathy, but in rats I think.
Who knows if they'll do any good, but have nothing to lose at this point.
Cheers,

When mrsd comes back from vaca she will be able to help you more than U,
in the mean time.....make sure that is methyl B12....prob. is not if you purchase at the grocery...and take it on an empty stomache, that is one hour before eating or two hours after eating and that dose is small for someone whom is potentially symptomatic....the thiamine is a B vitamin and i dont think stores well....more frequent dosing, ie daily, may be nec.good luck
