I would recommend that you work on email with Dr C who has so much experience with B1 and will help to find the right dose for you, the one which will trigger improvements. It is unusual to take it later than lunchtime in case it disturbs sleep.

I am able to tolerate .8 g of thiamine before bed without interfering with my sleep. More than that does interfere, however.

hi luba well 9 am is a good time, well i would leave it to 6 pm for your second time. if i were you i would take it up a bit more 1000mg in the morning and 1000mg at 6pm see what happens after a few months time if nothing happens take it up to 1500mg. have you thought about mannitol it can help as well you can have a read about it on google.hope this helps.regards.
