I moved from 2 tablets daily of Metanex to 15mg sublingual B12 per your instruction. Will this have the same effect on peripheral neuropathy as Metanex?
I started using Metanx over a year ago when I was having tremendous neuropathy and cramps particularly at night, making restful sleep impossible. Metanx has mitigated those problems to 90 - 95%. Because I have no insurance I sometimes have to go for a stretch without this "medical food" and can tell within a few days that the neuropathy is in fact well controlled only when I am taking Metanx daily. I can detect no side effects even though I am very prone to that sort of problem. Yay Metanx!!!
I used Metanx for more than a year, and did not experience any improvement in peripheral neuropathy. Now my doctor is having me try Folbic and alpha lipoic acid.

If you're going to report on something, at least you could spell it right. METANX.

And it's expensive! My neuropathy actually got worse when I started it, so I discontinued it. Anyone else have this experience?
