ann-elizabeth,

After an excruciating and severe autonomic attack (I was hospitalized), I developed numbness in my mouth, face and head (also fingers). It was not painful but very disturbing as it felt as though I had received lidocaine from a dentist. It persisted for about two months and then gradually went away. My left arm and fingers are still a problem - the upper arm (bicept area) is extremely painful and the thumb and three fingers are numb, but the mouth and face issue never returned.

Perhaps, your condition may pass. I also get the muscle facilations from time to time.

I also find that the scalp problems (which I get sometimes. itching..especially from nightshade veggies), are gone when I use a high dose antioxidant. Since I started 300mg of grapeseed extract for my allergies, the scalp thing is gone. There is that antioxidant in my Krill oil too, which may be helping.

Mrs-D- wondering if you have tried Sulphoraphane Glucosolinate like Broccomax. It knocks out any sinus problems, allergies and asthma. I have been taking it for 2 weeks(used to take grapeseed-great as well) It also supports stage 2 detoxification. It is hands down the best thing I have taken for allergies. It works by increasing antioxidant levels in the nose and lungs where environmental toxins cause problems.

Anyway--Question about Benfotiamine and your dosage. How many times a day, how much and what brand are you using? I have been using Source Naturals and I don't know if its working anymore or maybe just the summer heat coming on. Thinking about checking out Dr.s Best.

Thanks,

I'll have to look into what you posted.
I'll get back to you.

For the benfotiamine I use Doctor's Best. I only take 150mg a day now, but when starting at least 300mg a day would be the minimum for at least 2-3 months or so.

I found a site that recommends more: But that would be up to YOU.

Hello,

I've been around for a while with idiopathic PN primarily sensory but do have a LOT of muscle fasiculations. My feet and legs twitch all the time. A few weeks ago, my left upper arm started twitching. About a week later, I noticed that my lips and cheeks were buzzing/tingling. I acutally thought I was hyperventilating, but now I have fasiculation in my face, so I know it was the neuropathy. At the same time, my right upper arm started twitching.

I have had my magnesium levels checked and I know I am not deficient there and I always add epsom salts to my bath.

Have any of you had neuropathy symptoms in your face? If so, how did you treat?

Ann

I really like to know, how you are doiing now, after so many years? I am dealing with the same thing als after an Mortons neurome.
