Ahhh i swear my right hand is good for nothing!! Today is my 3rd time hurting it badly somehow. Here's what happened this time : trying to walk between a computer and the board (with not much space) at school, and I rammed my right hand straight into the corner of the whiteboard -- right on my vein!! Its been swollen/numb/sore all day. You may think i'm weird but i took a pic of my hand, you can clearly see just where impact was. It's normally NOT red (i am a pale person). And i think my hand looks disgusting as it is because its so tiny lol... I've tried wrapping it in ice cold tensor wrap but if you have more suggestions pleaseee share!

It is FAR from fun. I dread tomorrow....seeing how I rely on my laptop for class notes, I may have to try hand-write instead!!! *thanks god for being a lefty*

Do they have a clinic or a nurses office at your school? Showing your hand to them would be the way to go. If you have a sprain or have broken a bone we can't really do anything for you. I hope it was just a bruise and is feeling better today.

Lisa, that is horrible you hurt your hand. Hope it gets better soon.

Thanks guys, its still hurting today. I accidently slept through my first class, oops...So i'll just go to the 2nd one. Its still all kinda nunb in pain and it doesnt look much different than it did last last. The thing that's going to KILL me is we have a winter storm warning right now ..so not only will my arthritis be affected by the snow, it will by the temperature drop of about 15 degrees C with the wind!. I'm seriously tempted to just wrap it up DURING my next class and handwrite.

EDIT: Make that completely useless!! I couldnt even lift a half-empty kettle without it sending jabs down my whole hand. Can something GOOD happen to me already instead?? :( *wraps it now*

Yeah there is a mini doc office on campus. If it doesnt improve any by the weekend then i'll go there maybe. You usually need an appointment but i'll tell them it was accident so its not like I knew it was coming. If i deicide to be stubborn i'll just wait until I go back to the doc about my gallbladder a week from now :lol:

      I take both Benfotiamine and TTFD.   You might want to start with the Benfotiamine for a few days and then add in the TTFD.   You can look for NeuroMag (Magnesium Threonate).  A magnesium glycinate is fine, too.  Doctor's Best is a good brand.  Don't take more than 300mg total per day of magnesium or it may have a laxative effect.   Be sure to take the B Complex.  The Benfotiamine and TTFD will need the other B vitamins.

      Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine has 100MG of Ben and 25 of Thia..... Do you think this is the one I should take or Objective Nutrients Thiamax (TTFD) which has 100MG Thiamine. How much magnesium should I look for? I take the womens 50+ multivitamin since consumerlabs stated and tested that it has the right amount of vitamins and not too much for men and doesn't have BHT which has shown to cause liver cancer in animals. I was never big with multivitamins as well as doctors I just read when I was first going gluten free to take a multi but I think I will stop them and work on trying the super B Thia and Ben, Mag.

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar.   2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo.  .horrendous stomach pains,  My hair was wet from sweat every part of my body was wet. What an awful experience, just had a bad headache today  fortunately.    Is their any products/pills anyone takes if they have realised they have just been glutened to make the symptoms a little less worse.  thanks

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day.  Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep.   The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride, another form of thiamine the body likes.  The Thiamine HCl just helps the Benfotiamine work better.   Read the label for how many milligrams are in them.  The Mega Benfotiamine is 250 mgs.  Another Benfothiamine has 100 mgs.  You might want to start with the 100 mg.    I like to take Thiamax in the morning with a B Complex at breakfast.  I take the Benfotiamine with another meal.  You can take your multivitamin with Benfotiamine at lunch.   Add a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make some important enzymes.  Life Extension makes Neuro-Mag, Magnesium Threonate, which is really beneficial.  (Don't take Magnesium Oxide.  It's not absorbed well, instead it pulls water into the digestive tract and is used to relieve constipation.)  I'm not a big fan of multivitamins because they don't always dissolve well in our intestines, and give people a false sense of security.  (There's videos on how to test how well your multivitamin dissolves.).  Multivitamins don't prevent deficiencies and aren't strong enough to correct deficiencies.   I'm happy you are trying Thiamax and Benfotiamine!  Keep us posted on your progress!  I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state a laxative affect as side affect. SHould I take with my super B complex or just these 2 and multivitamin? I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.
