Because I am otherwise very healthy ,He will not accept my neuropathy as Idiopathic at this time. He wants to do more tests and said he will consult with a Neuromuscular Doctor at this Medical Ctr and will do some research this weekend. (wow) Ok Fast forward.. He recommends I take CoQ10 said to make sure I get the Ubiquinone form for Mitochondrial trtment. I have searched the internet and found this form CoQ10 very expensive. My question is does any one take CoQ10 for small nerve neuropathy, and what is the difference between Ubiquinone and Ubiquinol? The Doctor said to take 1000 mgs twice a day with a tsp of Olive Oil. I do not know anything about Coq10, but I read many PNers on here take it. This dosage seems like alot. Does anyone take Coq10 and how much do you take and does it help? I will wait for a response before I order it..Thank you in advance!

Hi, I just started taking Qunol Mega CoQ10 100mg. Mrs. D's advice on what to take.
If I were you I would call your doctor and ask him why he suggested what he did and not what has been suggested here. I do tell my doctor I am on this site and what we suggest to one another. He is usually ok with things and agrees that certain supplements are worth trying. However, he has never suggested using any only says yes when I bring him information from this site.
I am really happy for you that you found a doctor you seem to like and he listens. I know how hard it is to find a good doctor. I am lucky I now have a rheumo and neuro that I love. They actually communicate with one another about my case.
Good Luck with everything!
