I am experiencing that sensation right now in basically the same location as you

describe. For me it will last a few hours or several days. Sometimes the same

area will feel burning hot on the inside. My alternative doc shrugs it off as

" nerve signal interruption. " I have yet to find anything that curbs these

sensations; not even the prescription cream from my MD made a difference.

> Hi everyone, it's been awhile since I posted here, but I've started a new

symptom, that I don't know if it is MS related or something else. Any answers

would be greatly appreciated. For the last few days I have been experiencing a

cold sensation in my leg, pretty much in the same spot (below my right knee,

above my right ankle). My leg itself in not cold, the feeling is from the

inside. Looking up on-line I think it's called Peripheral Neuropathy (sensory).

Looking up reasons for this I only see chemotherapy and tumors, and I'm hoping

that's not the case, I'm actually hoping this is just MS related, because then I

know I can probably do something about it. Has anyone else experienced this, if

so do you know if there is anything out there that helps it? I can't even find

this in my alternative medicine books, so it's very frustrating and I really

don't want to go to my neurologist if I don't have to because I don't trust him.

He doesn't really believe a thing I say anyway. Thank you in advance for any

answers out there!

For me it is every day, on and off throughout the day. Thank you for sharing

that with me, I wonder if anyone else has experienced this or has found anything

that has helped?

,

did you google it ?

I am more than happy to help anyone with tough questions, but please, dont

ask simple questions that google can answer.

Personally if it were me, I would be googling benfotiamine right now rather

than asking someone these questions and waiting and hoping for a response.

please do not take offense to this, I really hope what I said helps you

rather than hurts you.

I have looked it up on google, and you're right, it was dumb to ask since as

soon as I got the e-mail I looked it up. I am actually on amazon right now

trying to figure out how to buy this. There are expensive formulas for around

$45 a bottle, and then there are cheaper products for less than $20 a bottle, so

I'm not sure what I want to do. I will probably try a cheaper product first and

just see if it has any effect on me. I just didn't know if you have had any

experience with benfotiamine yourself or just heard of it. Either way I

appreciate you telling me and I'm definitely going to try it out.

I have MS and for helping to repair the peripheral neuropathy, I take

Befotiamine.  The brand that I take is cheaper then some other ones that I have

tried and it helps with balancing blood sugar, reducing pain from neuropathy

(nerve damage) in the legs and feet and it helps to start to repair the nerves.

 Here is a link to the kind that I take that does work

great http://www.vitaminwagon.com/benfotiamineplusmulti-b120capsules.aspx 

This website sells the benfotiamine one jar at a time or you can buy 3 jars at a

time.  I take 2 caps of this form twice a day, but if you have more extreme

nerve pain u can take as much as you need to take, since your body uses what it

needs and the rest leaves your system with 12 hours.  I find that taking the

Benfotiamine after meals helps, but you can also take it on an empty stomach

without causing an upset stomach.  Befotiamine helps with balancing blood sugar

and reducing pain from neuropathy in the legs and

feet from diabetes too.  My Grandpa takes the Benfotiamine and it helps reduce

the pain from neuropathy in his legs and feet and it helps to normalize his

blood sugar too.

  

Befotiamine can't be taken alone, since it is the fat soluable form of vitamin

B1.  All B vitamins need to be taken with other B vitamins to prevent a

deficiency in the other B vitamins.  This form of befotiamine has a few other B

vitamins with it that help it to absorb better.  The combination in good for

aiding in absorption and preventing further vitamin deficiencies.  I find that

taking the befotiamine by itself is not enough in helping to speed healing in

the nerves that are damaged because of MS attacks on the nerves.

Extra vitamin B12 is also needed for helping to repair damaged nerves, where

there is neuropathy.  The form of B12 has to be the methyl form for the B12 to

absorb at higher doses to help repair damaged nerves.  Here is a link to the

form of B12 that I take that is helping to repair the neuropathy in my legs and

feet http://www.amazon.com/Instant-Energy-Complex-2000mcg-Packets/dp/B000EZUQFU\

  I take 1 to 3 packets a day, mixed with water, but you could mix it with

juice if you wanted to.

I also take B complex with these to help prevent B vitamin deficiencies of the

other B vitamins.

The B complex that I take is a food form based B complex.  Here is a link to

the type of B complex that I

take http://www.vitacost.com/MegaFood-DailyFoods-Balanced-B-Complex

I have been doing this combination for 5 or 6 months now.

Of cost is always the limiting factor, when you are disabled and on a fixed

income, but I want to function better and taking these together are hellping

give me more energy, helping me to start to be able to stand up and let go again

(which I haven't been able to do for a few years), helping my memory to start to

wake up and function better again and helping to give me a more positive outlook

on life than I had before.

One thing to note is that you need not be alarmed that taking higher doses of B

vitamins does turn your urine much more yellow.  That is normal, since you body

uses whatever of the B vitamins that it can absorb to help repair nerves and

then you pee out the extra, since B vitamins only stay in your system for 12

hours before it leaves your body.

Taking B vitamins is not a quick fix for repairing peripheral neuropathy in

Multiple Sclerosis.  Taking these things consistently over a period of time is

what is needed to help repair damaged nerves, since nerves do take a while for

them to be repaired by the body, with the help of giving your body what it needs

to help repair the nerves.

I hope that you find this information helpful for helping to repair the damaged

nerves.

Peace and Be Well.

-- Diane

I found this VERY helpful and I will definitely be trying it out. Right now I

started a fast because I did The Master Cleanser in the past and I feel it did

help my body. This is going to be a short fast (last time I did 30 days), but

this time I'm going to try and just do a 10 day fast to give my body a break,

and then I can start with the vitamins. Thank you so much for taking the time to

share that with me, I have all the links saved.

awesome !

I have taken it, but I dont have neuropathy, I took it for overall nerve

health.

Usually people take benfo for diabetic Neuropathy, but hopefully it helps

neuropathy

no matter what the cause. From what I know, there seems to be a threshold

dose

for people with diabetic neuropathy of around 600mg-900mg. a day. I would

build

up to that dose over a period of time just to make sure you tolerate it ok.

Hope this helps

A few weeks ago I bought compression/nurses socks for the various parasthesias

in my legs such as stiffness, numbness, and circulation in the legs and pain in

ankles. I really did not expect these socks to work but they were only about $8

or so, and they got good online reviews for helping people with arthritis,

circulation, swelling, etc, so I figured, what the heck, I'll give them a try.

 

To my surprise since I started using them my legs feel much more normal (less

paresthesias). I suppose it could be a coinicidence or a placebo effect or the

fact that I changed up my supplements/meds. I'm just glad it seems to be working

and I now wear the socks pretty much all the time.
