This is a tricky question, because frankly, I am not sure.
It has been just terrible, and now frustrating, as it continues on and on.
THOUGH IT IS BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway...
I take Magnesium, Calcium, CoQ10, Fish Oil, Vit C, B12 (not consistently) and now maybe more often D3.
I live in a place where it will be dark longer, and a bit wet!
For the pain, I took St. John's Wort & Depon (paracetomal) if needed.
If I just needed to sleep, I would take a Children's Benadryl to knock me out.
I also used very briefly KAVA (have to be careful w/ this) and Bach's Flower Remedies.
The most helpful to me has been believe it or not, hot water bottles.
I have at least one warm one with me every night.
I get up re-warm it.
I keeps the chill away, and it seems to relax the nerves.
Warm bath's with Epson Salts.
Sauna.
Warmth helps me.
Food - I eat everything. It never made a difference with me, that I noticed. I suffered no matter what! I do stay away from junk or poorly prepared typed foods. I did have potato chips and got sick as a dog! In 10 chips there is mega doses of b6! I do indulge in chocolate, and ice cream, etc.
Megan had mentioned about weight loss. Megan I am thin, & I still suffer....

What has been recommended to me as far as healing goes is taking acetyl L carnitine with alpha lipoic acid, Fish OIl Omega 3 with DHA and methyl B12 (sublingual form).
I am conflicted about avoiding foods with B6 since almost everything has a little B6 and for some it doesn't make a difference. For me, I can't tell really.
Medications which help, but I've stopped taking them because they make me drowsy and I can't drive:
• Lyrica
• Gabapentin
• Compression and tight clothes
• Not eating. Just drinking water.
• Taking Digestive Enzymes with each meal - Nature’s Plus Complete Digestive Aid Digestive Enzyme. Malt Diastase seems to be the ingredient which helps because I've tried most of the other ingredients alone and they didn't make a difference.
• Time. Waiting for my nerves to get better.
