Default ALA (Alpha Lipoic Acid)
I had a 'teehee!' moment today.

Doing all my reading about burning mouth syndrome and what 'natural' remedies have helped, I decided to give ALA a go. So I went to my local apocathary, and they were glad to send a request to compounding for 60 capsules for me to try and see if this helps the mouth pain (I really want to move away from stuff like Clonazepam if natural would help).

So I pick up the ALA Wednesday... but I was surprised (yes, complete ignorance here) to read about how people with MS have and do use ALA specifically for MS.

Anyone else try ALA previously? Now I'm really curious. I asked for it specifically for the BMS situation, but I was clueless that others take it for MS.
