I have done medical gummies for 10 years to sleep,
due to my neuropathy. It works!
As you know this is a chronic pain that worsens at night. After 8 miserable weeks on Gabapentin this summer I stopped cold. I had found research and studies with positive pain reduction using R- Alpha Lipoic Acid with B1 and began taking a therapeutic dose- 2400mg. Total per day.
By one week I was having a remarkable reduction in pain.
It actually helps repair the myelin sheath so nerves are cushioned.
If you have a traumatic reason or diabetes causing neuropathy it may work. I am beyond happy for less pain!

I am going to try gummy’s- Rick Simpson brand. I have nothing to lose especially at age 75- except money. I hate throwing it away trying to find something that helps. As far as supplements I have no idea where to start. Wait until I get my blood tests in FEB 2026. And I know my PCP wil just do stand blood work - should I be asking her to do any more detailed blood tests. She doesn’t sound very interested in my dilemma just upset I have eliminated most of my Pharmaceutical meds. Maybe I should just take a senior vitamin?? Thoughts
What do you do when your PCP isn’t interested?
