Hi Lasers,
I am on CO Q10. I consider it essential. My neurologist has me on this cocktail daily,

CO Q 10 300 mg daily
Alpha Lipoic Acid 600mg daily
B12 25,000 mcg. Daily

This is for nerve health and energy production. I have been this for about 2 months.

I get CoQ10 from Sam's club, I take 400mg. Yes, it does help. I know this because when I run out or miss a few days I feel more fatigued, body aches, and a lot more brain fog. Wondering why I walked in that room, or what I was looking for, etc, starts happening regularly when I am off it. Also when my fibro fog gets bad I tend to get lost when driving to my normal places. So for me, I feel like CoQ10 is a must.

So I have some pretty significant Neuro problems that these were prescribed for. My neurologist thinks that anyone with nervous system problems needs to maintain their B12 as high as possible.
Talk with your Doc, Laser. I doubt he/she would think it would hurt to try.

Good luck!
