John..read your 2020 post..I’m 83, 6’5”, 265 lbs diagnosed with non diabetic neuropathy last September. Started taking Alpha Lipoic Acid until I discovered a better purer source with no synthetic elements is R-Lipoic which I’ve been taking 600 mg a day for several months..in 2025 it’s hard to imagine the medical researchers have yet to discover medication etc to reduce progression etc ..I’m trying to increase exercise and have reduced sweets in my diet.. anything helping who knows..I wear compression socks…and just wish and hope it remains stable. How long have you have it? Thanks Bob

Hi Bob @bigbob5461, I just turned 82 a few months ago. My neuropathy started sometime in my late 40s to early 50s but I never bothered to get a diagnosis until 2016 when I started worrying about the progression. I posted my neuropathy journey in another discussion here - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/310341/.
Na-R-ALA (600mg morning/evening) is one of the supplements I take. The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has a list of supplements that have shown to help neuropathy in their complementary and alternative therapies document - https://www.foundationforpn.org/therapies/
