What is the best supplement to take for feet neuropathy?

In reply to @intiguyct. No worries. I have had this nasty PN since the late 80's. I just keep trying! A tiny change would be quite welcomed, or should I say, "tiny difference?" No false hope taken! No big expectation.
I responded because, for whatever reason, my pain has increased a little bit lately. If I try something, just a tiny bit of trial and error, it might be worth the try!
It is quite impressive that you want to make sure you did not exceed my expectation with your personal shared results. I have gone down many paths hoping for a Hint of Help, and still do. Best Wishes!

And I too have likely done many of the same paths. I know what you are going through and how it feels to be desperate for anything that might help and that’s why I posted. Unfortunately it does cycle between good days and bad days - thus far I’d say I had two months of “good days” but it’s difficult to know for sure which med or procedure produces a change or for how long. Pretty sure however the ALA is helpful for me at least for now. Hope you find the same…Good luck!
Okay..I am a virgin for all of these supplements so please be kind. Just wondering if any doctor advised you to take any of them. No I am not the person who waits for their advice..I am only seeing a neurologist for the first time in early March. After reading a lot of PN posts I am not holding out a lot of hope for diagnosis or what to do about it. Just curious as you all seem to have had your condition longer than me which is only one and half yrs. I also wonder about your sensations. Is it pain or needles and pins. I am on lyrica for something else but I do recognize that it helps me with my restless feet and legs at night. That being said I am still not sleeping well as I have to drink caffeine all day after taking lyrica just to stay awake to try to sleep at night but I am still pretty wired even later at night okay sorry that I don't have anything to add a out supplements. At this point in my PN journey I am a sponge taking it all in thank you to all contributors.
Since I’m never sure what is really working because I do so many potential PN “cures”, let me share that my night pains in both feet seemed to start after 2-3 hours in bed. Since I’ve put a rolled blanket 1.5”under my feet to keep my heels off the bed, that pain has gone away completely. This was before ALA increases so I believe it works. I know others that did the same successfully. Hope it helps you.
PS: FYI…I apparently have an idiopathic, non-diabetic PN which equals “No Cure Yet” but Hope does still spring …

I went to the foot doctor last week and there’s nothing he could do for me. He said I need to see a neurologist and to take vitamin B12. I haven’t seen a neurologist yet, but I’m taking B12 for the last few days. I’ll see what happens.
