[QUOTE=joecarver;1025580]after trying gabapentin no help, Lyrica terrible side effects, decided to try supplements. started with R- Lipolic acid and Benfotiamine which have greatly improved my pains, didn't eliminate them but made life much better. Was surprised as I thought using over the counter meds, was a bunch of B.S

Hi Joe
Glad to hear your feeling better after using R lipoic Acid and benfotiamine. What kind of neuropathy do you have. What are your symptoms? I sort of gave up on OTC meds too. Do you have Diabetes? Is that why the meds (Supplements) helped you?
How much R Lipoic Acid and B1(Benf) do you take? I tryed lower doses of the R Lipic Acid for my burning skin and feet from SFN ,100 mgs. /day and 150 mgs. Benf for several mos. I didn't get much relief. Were you taking higher doses? (btw I also take 325 lyrica/day, doesnt seem to help much ).
Thanks in advance. Any input or suggestions are appreciated.
