I am so glad you are doing better, Grandma123.
Jesse, I have taken Alpha Lipoic Acid for about 3 1/2 years.
I take that, Benfotiamine, b12, D, L carnitine (Carniclear,) Pregnenalone, GLA, Fish oil, magnesium citrate powder, vit C, Ground flaxseed, whey protein in my really heathful smoothies, NAC, Vit E, Glutatione (Liposomal) Green powder, and a lot of other great things. I also eat the best foods with no processed sugar or carbs. to heal the nerves, mitochondria, energy, hormone support, antioxidents and immune system.
My CFS and Dysautonomia (autonomic neuropathy) are so much better.
For me, it is not how one or two things work, it all works together for healing.
