[QUOTE="Soundgen, post: 91105, member: 21269"] "I started taking 450mg but I got really bad pins and needles in my feet and hands so I cut the dose down. It's hard to know if it actually has any effect as I didn't have peripheral neuropathy to begin with." I can't see how a vitamin which is flushed out of your body within 24 hours can be causing the pins and needles , the neuropathy is cause by a breakdown in the myelin sheath , when I first started taking Benfotaimine , the P&Ns in my arm decreased slightly in 24 hours ! BUT the Neuropathy in my right foot increased to start with but has progressively moved towards the big toe , I put this down to gradual repair of the nerves at the nearest point first , the P&Ns in my toe were hidden by more damage nearer the main nerve , perhaps taking some Benfoatimen has started a " repair " which means you can now feel the damage which has taken place , It is also a good idea to take Methyl B12 ( methycobalamine ) this is the type of B12 used by the body and also repairs Myelin sheath , ordinary B12 cannot be used by yhe body without an adequate supply of B1 to act in the methylation process and turn B12 to methyl B12 .
