Has anyone tried Benfotiamine for their PN?

I am willing to experiment further with supplements, just getting a little tired of throwing away $$ on ones that don't work.

I have used this product and not right now...why I'm not sure. I've fallen off taking some of my supplements in the last couple yrs. BUT, like everything we try and use, we are all Unique and Different and what might work for me, may not for you and vice versa....and I find best results with what I've been taking and will have to look at the Thiamine product again. thanks.

Thiamine in large quantities can be very therapeutic for all kinds of neuropathies. It's hard to say if it would work for you, but it's very safe to try. Benfotiamine is good; some would argue that Allithiamine or Lipothiamine are better because they cross the blood-brain barrier, but I've seen success stories from all of these variants.

Yes, I too was thinking on trying the benfotiamine also to see if I can get any benefit . I have also read online about the B-6 and was a little concerned if it can cause more damage. Right now I eat a multi vitamin with B-6 in it at 3MG at 150% DV but I think that is a low dose of it? not sure.

Too much Vitamin B6 can cause problems with your nerves and other side effects.

I should start a poll, my PN is primarily numbness, with just occasional nerve lightening bolts. A lot of people suffer mainly from the hot pricks and jabs and other sensory anomalies. I haven't seen much talk, but wonder if anybody ever experiences a reversal of the numbness?
