Sorry yours has been getting progressively worse. Hope you can find relief from either another combination of meds or them plus certain dietary supplements in safe doses, such as B12, B1 (benfotiamine a/k/a thiamine),
R-alpha lipoic acid (safe dose! very powerful anti-oxidant) and not S-alpha because that's the synthetic version.

Best wishes,

Sheltiemom.....what is the difference between R- alpha lipoic acid and alpha lipoic acid? I got mine at the local drug store but want to make sure I am taking the right thing or getting the most bang for my buck. Please enlighten me.........thanks for your help.
