You could start with 1mg daily on an empty stomach of methylcobalamin...it is inexpensive, and safe to do.

The autoimmune type PNs may respond best to antioxidants, which help reduce inflammation. Fish oil, and grapeseed extract or a Curcumin with enhanced absorption. Eating foods with lots of color like strawberries and blueberries also helps.

B12, B6, folate and fishoil are known to help remyelinate damaged axons, so may help healing the areas damaged by the autoimmune attacks.
Thanks Mrs D. I am going to start with B12 I have some here already. I also have B6. I will add the others one at a time hopeful
