I found that stretching seems to agitate the nerves and makes the pain and needles worse. Everyone is different. I have a bottle of ALA and it says to take 2 tablets on an empty stomach, and 2 total 1,500mg. I have not tried it yet. Maybe I should start with just one. Have you noticed any difference with it? If so, after how long? Thank you.
i will e mail you about the soft wave treatment , and what it was like. Keep in mind, from many Drs over all my years, i have learned one thing..........if a Dr., doesn't really know anything about a certain treatment, or supplement. many seem to simply say...........it won't help, it's a waste of money...............if yours says the same thing, hmmm............don't give up your search, just because of an answer like that............years ago, a co workers husband was told he needed by pass surgery.........i gave her a book to give to him..........they both read it.....the wife said, this therapy is what my husband wants .......i gave her the name and phone no of one of the dr.s who use an alternative treatment......chelation , after his treatments, his original dr., after his testing said.........it looks like you Never had a heart problem, he was cured..................so don't give up..........
As there are many forms of neuropathy, there are many ways that individuals find relief for me as I’ve stated before it’s 1500 mg of gabapentin and 100 mg of pregabalin a day I walk at least two or 3 miles a day I stretch do three sets of 50 pushups a really good hot shower in the morning. It’s relieves the muscles that have tightened up overnight. Also take ala and methylene blue, and for the most part can function normally, and even some days forget that I even have neuropathy and that’s autonomic neuropathy. My symptoms still ricochet through my body, making their presence known I do have days when the mental aspect of this totally keeps me down, so yes, it’s a struggle, but as I said, at the beginning of this comment since the effects of neuropathy vary from person a person we must treat it as best we can using whatever tools necessary to make this chronic condition palatable at this point in time I feel very fortunate compared to a lot of the Post's by people I have read so we do what we can and hope for the best
I haven’t taken ALA, but others in this group have and found it helpful without side effects.
It’s something sim thinking about taking myself.
I plan to ask my neurologist about that on Wednesday.
Purchased online via Amazon. The brand for my R-Alpha Lipoic Acid is "Immunovites. (Contains no S-ALA.)
