johnsmith1580,
It is wonderful you are responding to supplement therapy. Can you share the dosage you take for the ALA and NAC? How long did it take for you to feel an improvement?

Hi beebe,
I developed chemo-induced neuropathy in both my feet and fingers. The neuropathy in my fingers greatly resolved on its own over the past year and a half with some lingering effects. But my feet did not seem to be getting any better with the problem starting just below my knees. I started taking 600 mg of R-Alpha Lipoic Acid and 600 mg of N-A-C Sustain about two months ago and have only recently been noticing what seems to me an improvement. The sensation in my calves has mostly returned to normal and my feet are less bothersome but still far from recovered. The neuropathy in my fingers I now consider resolved at about 90+% recovery. I used ChatGPT to help me put together the regimen I am following. I've attached a pdf of the protocol and rationale behind it. I asked for a science-supported, safe, progressive protocol I could ease into over time. It advised that it could take about 5-6 months before significant improvements, if any, and that any benefits would likely level off after about two years. I hope this helps.
