Thank you for sharing this info. Will check it out for my husband, who has been suffering increasingly more painful neuropathy in both feet. His old standby (Vick's) has not been as effective as it used to be for him. His neurologist prescribed Cymbalta, but my hubby researched the drug and decided (just as I did years ago when prescribed to me by a different doctor) that he did not want to take on all the issues that the drug could introduce into his already complicated health history. He has been taking 600 mg of Alpha Lipoic Acid for years, and certainly seems as if it has lost its efficacy. So again I say "Gracias" for this possible new lead in his quest for relief. I commiserate with him and anyone who suffers to the degree that he does because I've had peripheral neuropathy for about 12 yrs, most painful being my feet, but the dose of ALA that I take (300 mg) does help me the majority of the time. But I have way more CNS and pain syndromes than he does, all which makes my own daily living very challenging. Nevertheless, my heart aches when I observe how painful it is for him to ambulate only when necessary within our home, and see the effects of lost sleep and suffering etched in his face. We schedule errands and walks around his "foot pain factor" and are grateful for the days that he is dealing with more tolerable pain. Last year, I gifted him for Father's Day, a multi position recliner which allows him to press buttons to adjust his lumbar, head and feet positions. He finds that having his legs/feet full elevated does bring some relief. He often can fall asleep in that position, allowing for some recuperation. I love seeing how peaceful and relaxed his facial expression is when asleep in the recliner.
