No Benfotiamine? Look into it if you haven't already, the stuff's miraculous.
No diabetes here either, but it's saved us a lot of pain, and about $2500 on a root canal and crown.
My 18yo son had a routine cavity filled in a front tooth, and a day later was in excruciating pain. Dentist x-rayed and all looked perfect, replaced filling. Pain continued, replaced filling with painkiller, let sit for a week. The only explanation was a "spontaneous pain," which happens occasionally (I guess).
I remember thinking, "I must have missed that chapter in the child-rearing books, where your teenager comes storming into the kitchen demanding a root canal...." The pain was relentless and worsening. It was a Friday, though.
What do I do? Eighteen is too young for that, especially if the tooth is otherwise okay. Wondered if it's some sort of neuropathy? I had some Benfotiamine in the house. I said, "Fine, but it's Friday night, and you can't just show up for a root canal on a Saturday morning and say 'fit me in.'"
Found the bottle(!). Told him, "Take 600mg/day, half in am, half before bed, NO DEVIATION, DO NOT FORGET! If it's not better by Monday I'll schedule a root canal."
Monday came and went. I didn't dare ask. Tuesday night: "How's the tooth...?"
"A little better, actually."
Interesting.... "Keep taking it," I replied.
By the following weekend, the pain was GONE. He kept it up for another two weeks, no recurrence. Was understandably nervous about going back to dentist for permanent (3rd) filling but it went fine, uneventful. Dentist had never heard of Benfotiamine.
I always keep it in the house now.
Will check it out.
Thanks
