Default Other supplements that are useful in this situation..

If I were you I would also read up on the benefits of adding n-acetyl cysteine, alpha-lipoic acid, and acetyl-l-carnitine to your supplements.

The combination of all three can help repair and protect against some kinds of neuropathy and in general, they help protect everyone against a host of different medical conditions that can be caused by environmental stressors.

The amino acid arginine also helps repair nerve damage.. And also make sure to take fish oil, thiamin, and other B-complex vitamins.

Also, anyone who is having neuropathy issues, you should check for hidden *mold* in your environment. Even if you don't smell or see anything, it can be hiding inside of walls, attics, basements, etc. Spore counts may not show anything, but the mold toxins persist as a coating on tiny fungal fragments. Then the normal motion of air through a building can spread it everywhere - it can coat your possessions and cause major inflammatory issues that can ruin your health and send your immune system into an inflammatory nightmare.

Once they enter your bloodstream via inhalation, dermal absorbtion, or ingestion - (Inhaled toxins are very effective but also 30% of inhaled mycotoxins end up in the stomach as well) they recirculate in your bile and they can damage your liver, kidneys, gall bladder, stomach and GI tract, as well as your thymus, pancreas, brain, eyes and immune system.

They can cause lesions in your brain, which show up as 'UBO's on your MRI.

Often, this causes memory problems, chronic fatigue, etc. And much more.

Mold toxins can be very destructive of your health and they can persist for a very long time after the actual mold growth has been 'killed'. For decades or even longer after a water intrusion issue has been fixed. Once your body goes into an inflammatory state, recognizing what exactly is setting the inflammation off is hard because the inflammation lasts a long time because the toxins are low molecular weight and they permeate your entrire body, and store up in your fat. You can get them out with cholestyramine but often they have already done a lot of damage. And you also have to get out of mold completely.

Mold and even the dust of old now-dead mold needs to be physically removed, not just covered up and hidden.
