I have been taking R-lipoic stabilized 300mg and 150-300mg of benfotiamine along with 5mg methylcobalamin also 1000mg Acetyl-L-Carnitine 2 X a day, 300mg of GLA, 500mg Ester C 2 X a day, NAC 600mg. Kidney and Liver function are normal. After starting low carb diet the hazy vision stopped and I have less tingling in hands and feet at night but the skin sensitivity has gotten a bit worse and and I have pain in my calf and thigh with fine twitching in leg muscles at times but no stabbing pain. I was hoping the low carb diet and supplements would heal this but after 9 months I worry its not a blood sugar problem because my A1C was only 6.0, now down to 5.4 and keeping my after meal sugar below 140 at 1 Hr now. My biggist fear is that chemical exposesure could be in my body still after 20 years and is attacking my nerves again and if the neuro would give me prednisone like I got back then this could go away but my neuro thinks that is unlikely, but he also does not think my blood sugar was not bad enough to cause nerve damage because I do not have the typical stabbing pain and numbness, he thinks my nerves are irritated but cannot find a cause after many test.

Are then any supplements that could help rid my nerves of solvents just in
case that is the cause before I resort to ordering prednisone over the internet?

Thank you for the replys, It helps me to figure this out in my mind.
