I strated taking the Lipoic Acid quite awhile ago, while not on any drug. I noticed the "stocking feeling", if you know what I'm referring to, went away mostly. I would say it also cut the pain by a small amount, 10-15%. The cramps, that I got mainly in my arches seemed to let up on their own, but I've taken different vitamins, an have no idea if it was one of them. The drugs cut the pain more &, I think, make you think about it less, which is also a help.

My symptoms are all over the place and and recently took up with my hands.
My feet over the last week have started letting me walk consecutively 7 days in a row. I do not know how long this will last, but I am hopeful.
I just started taking magnesium yesterday for the cramping, so I hope this will help too.
