A few months after that, after reading about B-5, I added that as well, and that has helped even further with most of the needle jabs, cramping, and some of the hypersensitivity to pain.

I forgot to mention... my results with R-lipoic are not typical; it may require up to a month to get relief. There may be more on that in the Lipoic acid thread:
