I actually have heard of this before. There was a member here some years ago who suffered great neuropathy that continued long after treatment was over. After trying other things, she was tested for vitamin B deficiency and was very low. After taking vit B for some time her neuropathy finally went away. Based on her issues, and since I had a good deal of neuropathy when I finished my first tx, I got tested too. I was not deficient.
what is cerefolin NAC? I have NAC deficiency I think. should I go to a GI doctor or endocrinologist to be tested for deficiencies?
Thanks for the reply it was only by chance I found this out my feet and hands were freezing cold,pins and needles and so on. Doc said we had caught it early enough to stop any long term damage
