I’ve just started R-ALA and Benfotiamine(separately) but I am finding the ALA is upsetting my stomach. Anyone got any ideas.

I’ve started on 200mg R-ALA and 300mg Benfotiamine
I don’t know if these are considered low doses.
Did you stop taking yours for a few days to get over the stomach problems

Thanks John

I have been mulling over the various so called treatments for neuropathy.Those that immediately spring to mind are:-
Alpha Lipoic Acid, Vitamin Bcomplex, Bentothiamine,
Acetyl L Carnitine, etc.we are all searching for that magic treatment. Why don’t we start posting our successes and we would all benefit and it would stop people going down blind avenues time and time again

LDN Works great for pain.
Low dose naltrexone.
I’ve been on 4.5 mg for a year & a half.

I have been dealing with non-diabetic neuropathy for 20 years. In the last 4 years or so, I’ve pretty aggressively tried many supplements and prescription drugs.

My results:

Lyrica helps more than anything else. Benfotiamine helps some and Alpha-Lipoic 700 mg from Nuturna (not cheap so I switched to Benfotiamine, one of its main ingredients) has been very helpful.

Lion’s Mane did nothing, acetyl l-carnitine did nothing, NAC did nothing.

The above were all recommended by people, all were mentioned on this forum.

That said, some things work for some people and not for others.

Non-drug therapy:

I have begun spinal decompression therapy with my chiropractor. It is not at all painful and after the first 2 weeks with 5 visits a week, my lower legs have feeling, I can step into a shower and feel the temperature on my feet for the first time in 20 years and I have feeling in the bottom of my feet for the first time in 20 years. Some foot tingling is still there which I hope will go away with continued decompression. I began the decompression not knowing if insurance would pay any of it but it has become clear that it is something that works extremely well for me and may help me stop my drug therapy. This doesn’t mean that it will work for you or work this quickly. My chiropractor tells me that what has changed for me in two weeks usually takes about a year. I’m extremely happy with how things are progressing and will stick with it to try to eliminate all tingling. To be continued.

300mg twice a day

I started with half of that and worked my dose up consulting with my neurologist.

Does anyone take COQ10, and does it help neuropathy

My GP has taken me off statins due to my peripheral neuropathy. I am waiting to see what alternative he offers. Has anyone experienced this

The Webinar guys treatment programs after their initial webinars
are shockingly expensive !!
And NOT COVERED BY ANY INSURANCE!!
They offer ‘finance’ programs to help
you pay for these treatment programs..WHICH EASILY SURPASS
the FIVE FIGURE AMOUNT!

Or they want the money up front!
Or THEY OFFER A ONE DAY DISCOUNT IF YOU SIGN UP ON THAT DAY!!

AND THEY OF COURSE NEVER SEE
YOU IN PERSON!

AT THIS POINT NO THANKS..

I am self recommending to get further x rays to find out perhaps
the source of my nerve irritations
soon..
How most chiropractors work without the use of x-rays mystifies
me.
Truly

Yes further comments from supplement tryers would be very very revealing for us all!!
Great suggestions!
