Hi, yes I also have idiopathic neuropathy, I have been dealing with this for over 8 yrs.I take R Alpha Lipoic Acid 600 mg once a day. Acetyl L Carnite with Alpha lipoic Acid. 525mg Of the Aceryl 225mg of Alpha lipoic acid, Benfotiamine 300mg once a day. Magnesium 400mg twice a day. These supplements are all for neuropathy Oh also B12. Do they all work? Who knows but at this point I am afraid to stop. Exercise and stretching are key. I do take Gabapentin (UGH) 100mg in AM 200 mg PM. I have burning in feet at night, not every night. The 2 things that are hardest for me are balance issues, no cane yet, I have several along with walking sticks, only use when in crowds. The other hard thing is stabbing pain in left thigh, just awful, fainted once from horrific pain. THAT happens about once a month, cannot figure out WHY?? Thoroworx helps with stabbing pain. Dr says it is nerve pain? Good luck in quest to find relief, hope this is helpful.....

curious why you say UGH to Gabapentin?

I have the stabbing pain in the back of my thigh. Doing thigh stretches several times a week stops it. Sitting too much tightens the muscles in the back of the thigh. We used to call that stabbing pain a “Charlie Horse.” It’s horrible!
