Hi, yes. I started taking alpha Lipoic acid and acetylene l carnitine plus magnesium, vitamin d and vitamin b12. This helped with my small fiber neuropathy pain. I was diagnosed with iron deficiency and started iron supplements plus had a d&c due to heavy blood loss with monthly cycles (also don’t each much meat and mostly vegetarian). At one time I also started taking Cymbalta/duloxetine which can help with nerve pain (plus arthritis/depression/fibromyalgia). Topical capsaicin and other nerve pain creams helped some, too.

Off and on. Around 3:00am the pain comes on. Last three days taking last of a prescription; gabapenton capsules before bedtime. Seems to help relax my legs but each morning the pain returns. I can get up and walk it off and try to fall asleep again. Often the pain returns about an hour later. Been trying to stay hydrated in the night.
