Mrs D, thank you for your very helpful response. If I may, I have a few questions for clarification regarding your observations.

First, as to the Red Yeast Rice. Are you suggesting that I increase the dosage, or that I stay on the statin, or what?

I am taking the iron because I have a long history of anemia, but it is pretty much optional as far as my doctor is concerned. I am monitored twice a year with blood work so I don't really have a worry about it or the ace inhibitor.

I will take your advice and start taking the magnesium supplement you recommended.

Your observations about Xanax is interesting. No one, including my doctors, have mentioned that. If it has the potential of increasing my PN symptoms then I will discuss with my doctor getting off it.

My multivitamin has zinc, but I have noticed hair loss on my legs, and sores not healing as quickly as they should, so I will also start the zinc supplement, as well.

I do know about taking the Neuropathy Support Fomrula on an empty stomach.

Lastly, as to your caution about watching my blood pressure, I do have a cuff, and although I do monitor my pressure periodically, I will start to do so more frequently.

Thanks again. And, any additional advice you may have to help manage or resolve my PN will, of course, be most welcome.
