Re: Vitamin B for nerve repair?
well I don't know how much to take - but if you take too much it just comes out in your pee... hence the yellow or sometimes green fluorescent pee. B is water soluble (as compared to A & D & E that are fat soluble)

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: I am ROBPI, global injury, Horner's Syndrome. No surgery but PT started at 2 weeks old under the direction of New York Hospital. I wore a brace 24/7 for the first 11 months of my life. I've never let my injury be used as an excuse not to do something. I've approach all things, in life, as a challenge. I approach anything new wondering if I can do it. I tried so many things I might never have tried, if I were not obpi. Being OBPI has made me strong, creative, more determined and persistent. I believe that being obpi has given me a very strong sense of humor and compassion for others.

Re: Vitamin B for nerve repair?
I actually take a B-Complex vitamin daily.
B-100 and from a very good company not just any drug store variety.
I get B-12 shot monthly, my daughter is only to happy to give me a shot in the seat! LOL...
I won't take any shots in my unaffected arm because it's not unaffected anymore and it hurts after a shot.
You can't overdose on B but should always take a combination not just one type of B so I have read.
I read Dr. Mindell's book "The Vitamin Bible" years ago and realized that was why they were giving me B as a child.
In the 1940's vitamin therapy was used quite a bit for everything.
When my daughter had Chronic Fatigue I began more research on my own and then insisted she get B-12 shots since the symptoms are very much the same a B-12 deficiency.
The doctor did it to "shut me up" but she became fully functional again in a fairly shot span of time after months of being sick...
Now he offers the shots to all his patients with Epstein Barr Virus . He said since it would do no harm he give her the shots but my daughter and he were sure it would not work.
I did rub it in a bit that I was right due to simple research and he was wrong... LOL.
This is not meant as medical advice it is just what worked for me, for years.
I just read about a new natural healing juice that I am testing out to see if it truly helps with joint aches and pains that I have acquired due to compensation...
If it works I will be very happy because the ostio arthritis can be painful in my hands...
