Angry Not heard of IV-ALA

I have heard of a treatment using intravenous Alpha lipoic acid which has had success in regenerating nerves. Has anyone heard of this?
Hello Angelsrose, sorry I haven't heard of that treatment. I do know how helpless and hopeless you might be feeling. Use these feelings to drive you to do positive actions. That was what I did earlier in life when I was out of a job and the bills just kept on stacking. My first question to you would be "Have you been in tight glucose control"? It is known that if you know the underlying cause, that must be addressed first. Second question might be"Did this start in your toes and progress over time, or did you experience some trauma(physical) that caused fast onset? Either way, learn to search and read and tell us more about your situation. Lots of folks out there looking for that shot,but so far, good nutrician, excersise, understanding your bloodwork, and a #3 washtubfull of patience have been the stalwarts of the battle. Good Luck, Ken in Texas.
