Well, I'd get to a urologist when you return home.
Cancer can spread, and who knows what is going with that?

I think you can reduce the B12 to 1mg a day for a while, and see what happens. If you have the 5mg left, just do it twice a week.

Men do get urinary tract infections, so I'd get the urologist to test for that.

500mg of benfotiamine is alot. Some is stored in the body tho and not excreted quickly. I never recommend that high a dose.
If you start back on it, I'd stay at 150mg.

Neuropathy can affect the bladder.

But I think going to a urologist is your next decision.

Looked it up and I made a mistake on the benfotiamine. I was taking 2x150. So it was 300mg a day.

Not having a problem with urination since stopping the supplements. But I am now taking the Gabapentin twice a day when I rarely did that before supplements 2x300mg

I'll follow the cut backs and restart when I get back home middle of next week

Thank you

Alcohol and some spices like ginger, can irritate the bladder, causing urgency... so do look to your foods to see if a trigger is there.

Also you can have stones in the bladder, and that would need a urologist's evaluation.

Some days I swear I urinate gallons, other days I almost dont feel the need to urinate, I have no idea what to make of it,, I am a male,, and scheduled to see a urologist,, mrsD,, you mention prostate problems,, for years my PSA has ranged from 2 up to 3.9,, and this summer tested at 3.2,, they dont seemed concerened,, I guess my question is,, if one had prostate cancer,, would it show up on a CBC,, increased something,, SED rate,, White blood count,, anything?,, Had parentoplastic panel this summer,, apparently it was normal,,

I don't know much about prostate diagnosis. I'd ask your doctor for details.

But some foods can cause fluid retention. Too much sugar is one.

When you eat protein, that requires fluid to get rid of the nitrogen that is cleaved off to make glucose.

Low B6 status often causes fluid retention too.

A good habit to get into is having a full glass of water when you wake up. This flushes out the metabolism that occurred during the night.

Drinking alot of caffeine, will give different fluid excretion.
During the caffeine intake times you will go more. After the caffeine wears off, you will go less. You can test this out by drinking water first thing in the morning, at lunch and before dinner. This should stop the drier times.

Special blood test for prostate. 'PSA-4' or something similar (I can't remember.)
This test would indicate whether a cell sample is necessary. But it is not 100% indicator. Digital exam necessary also.
My cousin just had to have his prostate removed a month ago because of a positive test for CA and is recuperating from the surgery. Fortunately he was OK enough to come for Thanksgiving dinner with the family last Thurs.

I think I found the culprit. R-Liopic.

I'm back on B12, benefiotimine, acetyl L carnitine. My PN off the supplements was bad. Waking me up 5 x's a night. 1st night back on slept all the way thru. And taking a lot less Gabapentin. still not good, but seeing improvement already. Less than a week

Thank you so much Mrs D and the rest of the forum

Back on track thanks to Mrs D, suplements and this forum
