My husband's PN is from drugs also. Alpha Lipoic Acid really helped his pain level. I cannot remember how much he took. I think 300 mg x2 day. They now have R-Lipoic Acid which is more potent so you can knock back the dosage. He noticed a big difference within about 2 -3 weeks. I think there's info on this on the stickys also.

The only nutrients he can take without food is the sublingual B12, Vit C and magnesium. Otherwise, he needs to take them with his meals. Especially the B complex. That will make anyones tummy turn.

Day-glo yellow urine from a B complex is expected so don't be alarmed by it.
