Hello, @Gilly M,

I'm so sorry you are having such a difficult time.  My doctors told me my symptoms were extreme anxiety, but high dose Thiamine actually relieved the anxiety.  

In my book, anxiety is the body's way of saying something is wrong.  We're Thiamine Contingent.  If we don't get sufficient Thiamine, our mitochondria and cells cannot function.  Thiamine may make us more mentally alert, but it also helps the brain function better and the anxiety goes away, and sleep can then occur.  

Breathing issues, peripheral neuropathy (burning arms), nausea, migraines and high anxiety are all symptoms of Thiamine deficiency.  I had them as well, and Thiamine improved them.  

Taking a whole B Complex and 500 mg Thiamine will help.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  

I would sit beside you and hold your hand if I could.  I just know from my personal experience with severe anxiety that high dose Thiamine is worth trying.  

P.S.  Did you tell your doctors that you have been drinking heavily over the holidays?

Doctors are given more training in prescribing pharmaceuticals than in recognizing nutritional deficiencies.  My doctors didn't recognize my deficiency symptoms either.  

I hope you take the 500 mg of Thiamine just to rule it out.  You said you felt better last year when you were taking Benfotiamine.  You already know it helps.

I've taken 1/3 B complex so far and 250mg Thiamine HCl.  I'll take more in an hour.

Last week I took 500mg, it made me feel worse the next day ...it massively increased dumping. I am fearing this again....so maybe I can prepare myself my taking more Mg(400mg) and more K food/drink in day perhaps with K citrate supplement added.

@Gilly M,

Have you tried taking a whole capsule of B Complex for several days before starting the additional thiamine?

We can use personal messaging through the forum.
