Having found no one yet who will help us with the daily injections of thiamine referenced in another thread (http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/sh...light=thiamine) we bought some benfotiamine and have been taking it fairly regularly for about a week and a half (1 pill am and 1 pill pm).
Observations (granted, they are subjective) more mental alertness/clarity/sharpness more interest in everything more brain energy, for lack of a better way to explain it more physical energy as well This translates into less brain fog, less apathy, better mood. If we miss a dose, we can tell. It is subtle, but there. The downside is that we aren't sure if it interferes with sinemet I know B6 does, but am not sure about B1. And I know we are absorbing only a fraction of what we are taking orally, so I am continuing to look for someone who can help us with the injectable form of thiamine. Has anyone else tried this? |

My mom started benfotiamine about two weeks ago and hasn't noticed any good effects yet (no bad effects either, though). She takes 300mg in the morning and 300mg in the afternoon. Maybe we'll take up her dose a little bit... Thanks again for the updates.

Shortly after, he responded, telling me to go to his clinic, and to try its protocol because not only improve the symptoms (motor and non-motor) and improve the response to drugs, but even (here I was about to cry) stop disease progression. Tomorrow morning I'll call him immediately on the phone for an appointment Lurking sorry for the delay in response. I will keep you updated.as soon as possible.

I've also been taking benfothiamine for about a week. So far no notable results but only taking one pill, 250 mg, in the morning. Will increase to two pills a day and see what happens. I thought this vitamin was for blood sugar which I'm trying to lower and it has come down to the 80's. Did not know it would help the PD. Hope I can get some of the results you are experiencing hope it continues for you. |
