Hi, Susanne... If you monitor your posts, I wonder what your experience with bone and muscle pain has been. I've had body wide neuropathy for two years now, and the muscle pain is crazy bad. At least I think it's muscle pain. It's definitely different than the nerve pain and seems to be the muscles, though it's not a normal muscle pain like from over working or pulling a muscle. It's crazy pain in the major muscle groups. I thought the neuropathy was bad enough, then this kicked in big time a year ago. Has your neuropathy been determined to be length dependent or not? Gosh, so sorry you're a member of this most unfortunate "club". The info from here and kind responses of others helps keep me sane.

I have wondered how much it really helps, I have so many bone and muscle pains as this progresses, but I do notice more burning and zapping if I miss a dose so it must be doing something.
Good luck! More knowledgeable people will respond, I am sure!
