I'm having dramatic results with PN symptoms taking R-Lipoic acid (100 mg. once/day). It's virtually eliminated the burning, stabbing, & zaps.
There are a number of supplements that can help symptoms of both PN (some will vary depending on the cause/reason for PN if known) and RLS. You can find more in various places around NT or via google.

I'm thankful that the stabbing pain has been infrequent so I tolerate it. But if it gets worse, I'll definately be looking around for drugs. I'm a baby when it comes to pain.
I failed to mention what is probably the most important new symptom. I have a tremor in my thumb now. But my neuro doc assured me that it doesn't look like its related at all to Parkinson's. He wants another EMG though...go figure. Yippee!
Thanks for the feedback.
