Hi all,
I am taking the aforementioned supplement - Alpha lipoic acid - to help relieve the neuropathy I get from time to time and which, as all those who have had it will know, is a real nightmare and causes acute discomfort. I could see a neurologist if I wanted to and get a prescription for one of the medications usually given for this condition such as Lyrica or Gabapentin but these are essentially anticonvulsant medications and I would rather manage without them if at all possible.
I would be interested to hear if anyone else has tried Alpha lipoic acid and found it helpful for neuropathy or has tried any other medications or vitamin supplements that can treat the symptoms effectively.
Thanks,
Ellis79
