Guest guest Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 Does anyone suffer pain in the legs from neuropathy? I have severe lymphedema in both legs and dont know which one the pain is coming from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 This was interesting, thanks for sending. I was curious because I take 100 mg of B6 every day. I have for over 4 years now. Of course I have no neuropathy so far, but I was told by my gyn to take it for stress, PMS, to be exact. And I can tell energy wise when I don't take it. Thanks for the info. Re: neuropathy in legs > Hi. They say the b vitamins are the main suppliers of nerve nutrients, but that b6 maximums should not be over 150 mg, and niacin shouldn't be taken by anyone with a bad liver. The rest thiamine and riboflavin can be taken in large amounts because they are water soluble and excess just goes on through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 You're welcome - I used to sell vitamins but there is a lot of hype around with them. I take A (25,000 carotene) almost everyday, all the B's in a complex, with some additional b6 since they dont' add much of that, 100 mg niacin) , 1 or 2,000 mg c, 40 d, (did take 400 iu e but my blood is too thin anyway so had to discontinue it) 100 mg K, 600 mg elemental magnesium (many people are deficient) 4 potassium (99 elemental potassium each) selenium, 25mg zinc. I have high blood pressure because of drinking and overweight and salt but I'm never sick and always have a high energy level and run up to 4 miles most days and workout. I'm 65, so figure I must be doing something right. My wife is 54 and active too, but has a problem taking the vitamins because they upset stomachs (both ours) unless we take them with skim milk which helps) I don't know the answers but I keep looking for them. <G> Have a good one.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2003 Report Share Posted March 21, 2003 Thanks! I was just wondering since my doctor prescribed B6 100 mg once a day for my carpal tunnel, and it has helped, but it hasn't done anything for my toes though...8( JJ (Ya-Ya Name:Duchess Green Thumb or Viscountess Foot in Mouth) 222.8/194.5/150 www.home.earthlink.net/~detachd > Re: neuropathy in legs > > > Hi.
