Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

I've posted this in a couple of places so forgive the replication, but I'm trying to get an answer. I have a question for anyone trying alpha lipoic acid. I just started using it and noticed that my urine has a fruity smell. I stopped taking it and it stopped. When I resumed the dosage it started again. So I know that is the cause. Anyone ever notice this?

I have been using it for about 1/2 a year now. It took a long time (months) to start working but appears to help now. Haven't noticed any smell or other abnormality with my urine

I have the same reaction; many supplements and pharmaceuticals impart odors to urine, usually without any negative consequences. But watch for other possible side effects. I also have problems with berberine (which is almost the equivalent of metformin). I take the latter because researchers have found that up to 40% of all idiopathic polyneuropathies ultimately demonstrate a glucose intolerance causation.
