First off I would just like to thank everyone for their support on this journey. I went for a EMG and a Nerve Conduction Study yesterday and I must say the EMG hurt so bad! The EMG feels like you're getting electrocuted, lol!!! Anyways, the tingling in my toes is completely gone, but I now have tingling in my legs that's not sharp, but kind of uncomfortable. I have been taking magnesium, krill oil (by spring valley), vitamin d (I have been taking that before this happened), and I take b 12 (thank you for the excellent vitamin choices MrsD).

I am also free and clear of all drugs and I plan to stay that way for good. Anyways, I sometimes wonder if I'm healing or not and i'm trying not to let the worry drive me crazy anymore (even though it still drives me crazy). I cannot stress enough how bad all drugs are and I finally understand this even though I wish I would have listened instead of learning the hard way. I was also wondering if acetyl l carentine or alpha lipoic acid is good to take for tingling? Are these supplments safe and do they really work??? Thanks.

I think R-lipoic acid is better, but I will let Mrs.D comment on that. But I would add Benfotiamine to your list of supplements.

Hope you are well on your way to recovery, it is a long slow road. I don't trust drugs at all, or doctors, for that matter. They are both needed but not wanted, ha!

Thanks for the update.

If you want to add in something... do it one at a time, to see if it works. There is no way to know ahead of time which one of the big 3 will be best for you.

Do r-lipoic acid stabilized 100mg/day for a month or so. If no response, then
stop it and do the acetyl carnitine for a month, at 500mg a day.
Then if nothing, do the benfotiamine 300mg a day to start for a month.

You can do them in any order.

That way you will find which work and which don't. You can save $$ and learn more this way about your body's needs.

For me, I need all supplements working together. I thought most people were like that. One was good, then adding others was 100% more effective. Like when putting CoQ10 with l Carnitine. They work together, for me at least with my illnesses.
