There are meds and supplements to help ease the symptoms and one that has worked for me is ALA. read up on it by googling it with neuropathy as your key words. Speak to your Doctor about it before you take it. It has lessened my affliction by at least 60-70 percent. I think you are in pain now and feeling hopeless, but there is hope. Be strong if you can and get a support system going.
Hi Aussie
Do you take ALA?. I read on here I should take R lipoic acid. I bought 100 mgs. I have to split it in half , 100mg makes me jittery. I also take AL Carnitine 500mg. what are your thoughts on the ALA vs RLA for SFN? Thanks
