It certainly cannot hurt to try and raise the B1.
Being low in B1 can cause neuropathy type symptoms, and for many years B1 was a common treatment for PN.
I'd do the Benfotiamine form. But you can try the less expensive B1 in stores to see if it helps first. Do 200 to 300mg a day in divided doses, for a month and see what happens.
If you see some improvement then you can switch to the Benfotiamine form which is not excreted so rapidly like the plain one is.
Were you taking a multivitamin when you had that test? If so that may be why you tested low normal. There is Thiamine in multivitamin mixtures, but in low dose.
