I know that you recommended just doing the Benfotamine & CoQ-10 for a month to see if there is improvement before trying the ALA & R-Lipoic but I can't wait. I'm going to essentially bomb my body with nutrients & if I get any improvement (hope! pray!) then I will slowly wean things out. I know it's the more expensive route but my symptoms are WORSENING! Every single day something hurts more or the pain goes to a new part of my body. And I am on a wait list thru October to get into the Neuropathy Department at OSU. I'm terrified of being in a wheel chair or something by then :-(
So other than thanking you for the guidance - I wonder if you might pleae take a second to tell me what dosage of my new supplements I should be taking? Thank you in advance. SO MUCH!!!
Doctor's Best Best Stabilized R-Lipoic Acid Featuring Bioenhanced Na-RALA (100 mg), Vegetable Capsules, 60-Count
Sold by Amazon.com LLC
$16.29
Start at one a day of this, and take in the morning on an empty stomach. If you have heartburn, eat a little food, not a full meal. Only a few report the heartburn, tho. Take it with alot of water so it dissolves in the lower stomach, and not get caught up high.
Jarrow Formulas Acetyl L-Carnitine 500mg, 60 Capsules
Sold by Amazon.com LLC
$12.09
Start at one a day of this --you can work up to 4 a day, but that may not be necessary. This has limits to absorption, and so all doses should be divided up so as to make for most success. Jarrow is a good company.
Doctor's Best Benfotiamine (150 mg), Vegetable Capsules, 120-Count
Sold by Amazon.com LLC
$13.99
Since you used to drink wine, start at 300mg a day, and see how you feel. After about 3 months you can reduce to one a day and see if your improvements hold at that.
Folic Acid B12 90 Tabs
Sold by ProLine Refills
$15.00
I can't find this... do you have a link?
I need to see the formula to comment on it. Sorry.

I used to use iherb.com for many years. At one time they were the only place with the more unusual supplements like methylcobalamin, etc. But now Amazon has them all that I use and the free shipping is lower at $25. We often shop for other things at Amazon..cat toys, a music CD every once in a while, and hard to find tools/kitchen things. I even found some seeds on Amazon once! Our young cat loves the plastic springs that come 10 in a pack. She carries them around the house and plays for long periods of time with them! Sometimes yowling her catch with glee!
Give the supplements a good six months. If you see NOTHING in the way of improvements, that would point to a hereditary PN. But most of our members do see something change. Keeping a journal may help, if you're up to that. Drink enough water, to keep hydrated, which is always important when taking supplements.
