Well I found that an implanted spinal cord stimulator helps me. It’s made by NevroHFX, paid for by Medicare & they can give you a free trial to see if it helps you. Also twice a week I do alpha lipoic acid injections subq into buttocks instead of ALA pills which have absorption problems. That keeps symptoms to a low roar; never eliminates. I am able to sleep and walk. At 84 years old I feel lucky. ALA is something I stumbled on. It’s an injectable med (1cc) I have wife give me. I get a 30ml vial from Empower pharmacy along with needles, 3cc syringes, sharps container & alcohol wipes. Very reasonable out of pocket cost. They were able to get a Dr on their staff to prescribe the medication for me. Most Drs. Have no idea about ALA injections although there is an NIH study that talks about injections. I learned about this from a vitamin store in Sarasota, Fl and then figured out how to eliminate the middle man. You also would need a transfer spike that goes into the vial to allow drawing up into a syringe. There are a couple on Amazon you can buy. Any pharmacist should be able to help you with questions, but best source is Empower which I think has home office in Houston

I tried ALA bulk infusions a few times. NO IMPACT on my PN
