I got a similar story from my neuro, but I question their logic. I don't know the exact % of PN patients for whom RLA works (and I count my blessings that I am one of them). Gabapentin & Lyrica have been shown to help only about 30% of those who tried them, but they are prescription medications (vs. OTC supplements) and for many of those for whom they do work, they just stop working after a time. Worse yet, they are incredibly dependence producing (see threads here, and in medications & chronic pain forums).

In the spirit of Hippocrates, doesn't it make sense to still try the natural, non-dependence producing therapy before (IMO) the noxious ones that (virtually) enslave people to Big Pharma?
