Hi
Skansie, Welcome.
There's a great
forum here for Peripheral Neuropathy.
http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum20.html
Many people, including myself, are getting favorable results with
R-Lipoic Acid (
RLA) in lieu of Alpha Lipoic Acid, and a newer
stabilized form particularly, which is better metabolized. 100 mg per day of this form works for most; some try 200 mg (split into two doses) but that may be harder on the stomach. The stabilized
RLA works better still in conjunction with
Acetyl L-Carnitine and/or
Pantothenic Acid (B5).
We're also taking
methyl B-12 rather than cyano B12, which is a better form to take for some. B12 should be taken on an empty stomach.
There are many other supplements too, specifics and amounts based on individuals' needs (lab results) and responsiveness.
Finding the right ones, or combinations,
for you are crucial. Try not to be discouraged if the ones you tried didn't work within a month. Some may work quickly for some people, but depending on individual circumstances may take longer.
Please stop by the forum, peruse the
PN Tips, Resources, Supplements & Other Treatments Sub-Forum and the various "Sticky" and other threads. A lot of information can also be found in the archives by using the
Search facility.
Again, welcome.
