"DCA - side effects"
 
   Hi I am just knew to all this. I started DCA about 3 months ago and approx. 2 weeks ago noticed toes and fingers numb/tingly. Finally decided it might be DCA. Stopped taking it 3 days ago & am taking folic acid & thiamine as recommended. I may be inpatient but I haven't noticed any improvement yet. They are pretty bad and its hard to walk. Has anyone else had this side effect and if so how long does it take to see some improvement?

Shep,

Yes other people have experienced side-effects and it seems that each story differs. Please read about side-effects and potential dangers, and explore this site as much as you can to be well-informed.

Best of luck,

Heather, Forum Moderator

Thiamine is not easily absorbed. Try B-12 injections instead.

   I take vitamin B1 with DCA
And now ,I feel me well

My english is bad so I write in French

Après 3 semaines de prise de DCA , je me sentais sans énergie aucune j'ai arrêté 3 jours et j'ai retrouvé mes forces.
Maintenant je prends de la vitamine B1 avec le DCA et je n'ai plus d'effets secondaires.Je prends 2 comprimés de vitamine B1 par jour.

   Hi Shep, I take Nexavar for non-mall cell lung cancer. It also has numb/tingly side effects. I have just learned to live with it because if I stop taking the drug….I will die. I do take hydroco/apap for the pain and that seems to help.
I have not tried Folic acid & thiamine but will check with the doctor as some herbs, etc. can interfere with my cancer drug.
