I’m taking 600mg a day split between dinner and tea ( lunch and dinner/supper if you’re confused [emoji5]) as I’m already on thyroxine in the morning. I’ve told the GP ( never heard of it ) and the podiatrist ( same ) and the DSN ( same ). I’m buying the Swanson triple strength which is about £20 a month. I’ve been doing this for about 6 weeks and am going through a phase of bad pain in my feet and hands at night again, after initially good results. Does this mean I need more, it’s really dear but even the GP commented that the alternatives such as Gapapentin etc, all of which I’ve had are ‘horrible.’ Or..... does it mean it’s just not working for me. I’m also having shoulder tightness/ pain when my feet and hands are bad - so after 42 years I’m a bit disappointed it’s happening like this. Is that neuropathy too? No one seems to know. Any advice is welcome [emoji4]</p></blockquote><p></p>
