It's too difficult to go right in to A Pain Specialist, or any other doctor for that matter, and ask for these meds. Unfortunately, the addicts have made all of us look suspucious if we ask for anything in particular.
I get a lot of my supplements/vitamins from Iherb.com I have no affiliation with them; but on $20 some free shipment and on $40 , a 2 or 3 day free shipment. I have found them reliable and like the free shipment. There is also Vitacost.com and Amazon carries many of these as well. Most of the items; especially the Benfotiamine, MethyCobalamin B-12 and the STabilized R-Lipoic Acid are not found in your regular pharmacies.
I don't think I mentioned this previously. Stabilized R-Lipoic Acid, and MethyCobalamin B-12 all need to be taken on empty stomach or at least 1 -2 hrs. before eating and 1 hr. after. Usually the MethylCobalamin is disolved under the tongue.

Thanks for the info. While I understand that Dr's are trying to be careful of drug seekers, I feel like those of us with legitimate pain diseases are being mismanaged, mistreated, and disrespected by doctors much of the time. That is my experience so far. After 4 yrs with PN, I know what works for my pain, and the pain doctors don't like that.
Thank you again!
