I find that R-lipoic acid (ALA stablized) makes me hyper at 200mg a day.
It does not do that at 100mg a day however. When I started it a couple years ago, I had to start at 50mg a day.
Fish oil has anti-inflammatory actions and so if you have inflammatory issues -- some form of arthritis-- it is helpful.
I think some PN may be inflammatory, and hence that is why AlkaSeltzer with aspirin works for some PNers.
There is over a decade of research on ALA for neuropathies.
The carnitine and CoQ-10 help with mito issues, and improve energy production in the cells if the mitochondria have been damaged by drugs or toxins.Many anti-aging products and articles recommend them. It is very possible that our own synthesis of carnitine fails with time/aging.(just like everything else seems to!)
I hope you stopped the B12 before the testing. At least 3 days before ...so your reading would be more accurate.
I am glad for you that you are feeling better. It is obvious that you are healing in some way, so I'd keep your regimen up!
