It has been about a decade now, that HIV patients have used Acetyl-Carnitine
for their neuropathies caused by the drugs they take to suppress the virus.
Also, carnitine is helpful to prevent, or help repair chemotherapy induced neuropathies.
It is still rather expensive however. That is its biggest drawback. It is available on RX as Carnitor, so some insurances may pay for a portion of the cost leaving you with a copay. Carnitine fumarate is the same OTC version as the RX and made by the same company. It is available at

I only use carnitine when I am working out heavily. It really helps with muscle pain and helps me avoid that discomfort.
