Is there anywhere in the Nottingham area who provides IVdrips of alpha Lipoic acid.

Hi bigjohnscho,

First, I'm sorry for what you're going thru. I just started taking ALA orally per my neurologist. I am new to the group and I may be wrong but I'm guessing you are in Maryland, maybe. If so, you can google search for ALA drip therapy in your area. Additionally, if you have a neurologist, she or he should be able to point you to a facility close to your location.
There is a link for National institute of Health that mentions ALA available intravenously. Unfortunately I am not allowed to copy and paste a link here and I don't know why. In my humble guess, it will help more intravenously than orally, but I may be wrong. Additionally, the dose depends on your condition and can range between 600mg and 1800mg:

Hope you'll find an answer soon. take care.

Hello Colleen,
Thank you so much for your reply and for posting the link to help a fellow brother going through what we’re going thru.
And just confessing to you that the worst pain is the emotional toll we have to deal with from having to deal with our physical pain alone while we have a family who is clueless and doesn’t care.
Take care and have a serene weekend,
gus

To all who are interested I’ve been taking 600 mg of alpha acid every day two resveratrol 500 mg 250 mg of NAM and a dropper full of methylene blue and all I can say is this I was up to between 15 to 1800 mg of gabapentin every day 100 mg of pregabalin and since I’ve been doing this protocol for the last two weeks, I have to admit my pain is much less my dosage has gone down to 1200 mg of gabapentin say the least and I can’t say directly it’s because of this new protocol, but I’ve been sleeping better eating better and more time between dosages of gabapentin and pregabalin. I’ll keep everybody posted. Oh yes and plainly I’m a pessimistic heart when it comes to finding things to help my autonomic neuropathy, but my optimism is sneaking on through. Hope a bunch of people read this.
