A member asked:

If i suspect onset of wernicke encephalopathy can over-the-counter b1(thiamine) cure me? my right eye cannot turn in when i look far away

Best to see a doctor: Wernicke's encephalopathy can be a serious condition involving more than just thiamine and many things can cause eye muscle paralysis best if you have a doctor evaluate this one to be sure exactly the cause.
