Question

The Metanx is good, but it needs to be taken on an empty stomach so the methylB12 in it can be absorbed properly.
No food for one hour.

The Lovaza is fish oil...take with food.

The R-lipoic acid (stabilized) is very water soluble, but still should be taken on an empty stomach for best results. This newest version is an improvement over others from the past.

I will have to warn you that 15yrs of vitamin deficiency may not be helped much. There may be damage that is not correctable.
If you are lucky and start to improve, it will be a long haul.

Do you know your A1C numbers, the long term diabetic predicting values? Do you know what started you problems?
An injury, illness, treatment of some kind, some vaccine reaction, etc? This information is helpful to help decide which supplements to concentrate on.

I also take Metanx which is a B complex (i think) I was going for B12 injections but the new doctor (mine retired) is an *** and won't give them to me. Even though I told him I was told by a specialist that once deficient always deficient.

Is this a good one or should I switch to over the counter? I know that you are all not doctors and therefore can not prescribe but the pain is overwhelming and I have been this way for almost 15 yrs. I have been to specialist and none have figured out the cause or done anything but push the pills,which I might add only made me very sick.

Sorry for the rant... anyway I have been doing a lot of reading about supplements that will help. I will be trying R Lipoic and Serrapeptase, are there any others that might be helpful? Thanks
