Summary
Benfotiamine at 150-300mg daily, taken for about two or three months in 2018, produced cognitive improvement. The benefit then ended abruptly: intolerance set in and not even the tiniest dose could be taken afterwards, a state still holding three years later. The gain was cognitive only, with no change in overall function described, and no duration of illness or severity level is given. The detail here comes from the index entry rather than from a dedicated account of the treatment.
