[QUOTE="Bluenosesol, post: 118920, member: 20149"] Jim, I was advised that when you first take them they "set off" your nerves and symptoms actually get worse. I noticed after about 10 weeks that the symptoms had virtually disappeared, though I was advised 3 months (so not much difference). I would say that most times, I can tell that the neuropathy is still there but it is difficult to perceive, getting better and for the time being not a problem. I take an ALA/Vit C/Evening Primrose Oil cocktail, which helps to reduce the symptoms but does actually nothing to repair. The Benfotiamine is reputed to actually repair the damage (but bear in mind that we are told that damage is only repairable up to a certain "tipping point", therafter we can limit further progression. But as others have said, good control is the finest treatment. Steve. [/QUOTE]
