i was experimenting heavily with high dose Taurine throughout early 2020, and unfortunately due to focusing too much on the benefits such as better liver health, reduction in insomnia, i didn't realise it was the Taurine causing serious long term damage to my nerves. 6 months on I've still got intermittent nerve pain in my sciatic nerve (lower back and leg pain) which is sometimes very bothersome and has remained long after stopping daily taurine supplementation.
to clarify, i was taking around 5-10g of taurine per day for around 3 months.
luckily i recently stumbled across Nigella Sativa/ black cumin seed and noticed after a few days the nerve pain reduced noticeably however only temporaily . as it turns out there are several studies showing nigella sativa having potent remyelination properties. so im hoping i might get continued healing if i take it daily.
my question is why are there so many studies saying Taurine PROTECTS/ PREVENTS myelin damage of sciatic nerve when i know for a fact the taurine caused my sciatic nerve damage. for example:
be careful anyone considering taurine supplementation long term

Taurine protects against myelin damage of sciatic nerve in diabetic peripheral neuropathy rats by controlling apoptosis of schwann cells via NGF/Akt/GSK3β pathway - PubMed
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy is a common complications of Type 2 Diabetes and its main pathological feature is myelin sheath damage of peripheral nerve that was induced by Schwann cells (SCs) apoptosis. Increasing evidence suggested that taurine might play a role in improving DPN because of...

Taurine counteracts oxidative stress and nerve growth factor deficit in early experimental diabetic neuropathy - PubMed
Oxidative stress has a key role in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications. We have previously reported that taurine (T), which is known to counteract oxidative stress in tissues (lens, kidney, retina) of diabetic rats, attenuates nerve blood flow and conduction deficits in early experimental...
