For Dietary Supplementation "I have been taking Metanx for about 9 months now. I first noticed a difference after circa 4 months. Perhaps it was slow because the neuropathy had been with me for 8 years. No cause for it, except perhaps old age (my neurologist's words). Yes, at times the burning pain seemed to get worse in some areas. The doctor's explanation: some of the nerves that had already gone numb, and so painless, were coming back and eventually would heal. After years of only tolerating light sandals on my feet, I have started wearing 'real' shoes again for a short period of time. Prices at the local pharmacy are high, but mail order brought it down to under $70.00, including postage."

For Dietary Supplementation "Suffering from both diabetes and its sequelae, as well as vascular insufficiency in my legs and feet, every step I've taken for the past three years has been extraordinarily painful, with both severe leg cramping and the burning, numbness, and imbalance of neuropathy. My endocrinologist gave me a two-week sample, and within three days, the vascular cramping disappeared. I still have neuropathy but sense it lessening. Ironically, two years ago, after an inexplicable failed arterial stent, a hematologist found that I was deficient in vitamins B12, B6, and folic acid, which can affect blood coagulation. I've been taking these supplements in OTC products since then and have not seen any change until Metanx. Activated folic acid is the difference!!"

For Dietary Supplementation "Prescribed after surgery repairing neck, C4, 5, and 6. Nerve damage from an injury. Metanx was an excellent suggestion from my doctor. Now if my hands start to feel burning or tingling, I go back on the Metanx. Thank you!"

For Dietary Supplementation "I'm on Metanx for 3 weeks, I see no improvement yet, actually, I'm feeling worse. So, as I read, it could take up to 3 months since I've had peripheral neuropathy for 12 years now. Maybe things get worse before they get better, not sure. My tongue always feels burnt, and lips feel chapped and they are not. The burning sharp pain is stronger, leg cramps every night. I'm hoping I feel some relief. $174.00 for 3 months is a lot of money, especially if it doesn't even help. I'm praying :("
