    Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes...

    I had MRI scan a few years ago showing everything normal, and now it's no longer triggering the nerve pain when I bow my head today - it only seemed to happen yesterday, and that was the only time it happened! Just seemed weird as no movement has caused my usual nerve pain before. It's normally just random.

    OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the...

    I don't have a B complex but I am getting the required amounts of all the B vits after looking what my diet contains. Yeah I eat a lot of omerga 3 fatty acids as I know they're good and I've always eaten quite a lot of that sort of thing.

    I take B12 and Vitamin D (1000 I.U) as well. I can't take 500mg twice a day, only once due to cost reasons. I'm getting more than the minimum rda of Niacin in my diet but not supplementing it.

    I've been on the hydrochloride for over a week now. No difference in nerve symptoms so far. Only difference I've noticed is my it smells a bit different, less umami and more "musty" or pungent smelling both in the bottle and in my pee lol.

    I have been taking 500mg all at once and around lunch time. Not sure I can do more than that because of the cost. I got the B1 hydrochloride version starting tomorrow. Anyway, so far I've noticed no difference energy/mental wise or nerve pain wise. It just seems to be the same. Regardling energy im in a pretty peak fit condition already so maybe that's why...

    I have now been taking 500mg of Thiamine every day for two weeks. No difference in nerve pain intensity/frequency. Should I notice anything by now? Or would I expect this to be a matter of months given nerves heal slowly?

    I think it's just part of the natural water retention/release cycle that happens, just in my case the retention part hurts my hyper-sensitive nerves. So its just another thing to add to the huge list of "irritants" rather than the cause. I tend to underhydrate a bit by habit. I don't have any health conditions according to any testing other than celiac disease...

    Yeah I can increase the amount to 500mg/day and see what happens. I know I haven't been consistent enough in supplementing vitamins.

    This may seem non-relevant but I thought I'd add it here anyway to see what anyone thinks. Many might dismiss it but that's OK. I went through the entire history of this condition from its onset in 2010 or so, including the things that flare it up, and the timeline of what made it worse, the medications that worked and didn't, in ChatGPT (rolleyes I...

    So I've been eatin no carbs in the evening and only a bit for my lunch so a big reduction. Well, made no difference, in fact it's actually got even worse. So everything I do makes it get worse. I said this to the doctor. He said he definitely thinks it's a neuroplastic pain condition where I've sensitized my nerves to max volume and now the pain has outgrown...

    Awful terrible burning pains recently. Got suicidal thoughts from this crap yet again. I'm going to try doing low carb again as meat and veg type food has in the past reduced it. This is doing my head in.

    The conversion factor for mg/dl and mmol/L is 18. So 5 = 90, 7 = 126, and so on. In the US, blood sugar regulations now are the same as what we use in the UK except for this difference in units. In terms of how they compare in the past, the numbers today that I quoted are stricter than they used to be. Blood sugar numbers for +1 and +2 hour postprandial are...

    Evidence from normoglycaemic studies shows that healthy people peak at ~1 hour, and they then return to baseline in 2–3 hours, not 1. CGM shows normal post-meal rises even in metabolically healthy subjects. Clinical tests use the 2-hour value to judge normal glucose clearance. Therefore the 1-hour-back-to-fasting claim contradicts both physiology and clinical d...
