Has anyone had success taking Alpha lipoic acid for neuropathy?

@carol1024 I have neuropathy also. I definitely understand what your referring too. Part of it is your pre propreception. Your brain and your body knowing where everything is
I take 1500 R- ala daily. Neurologist started me out at 600 per day. I do believe it has helped me. I did not feel results from S-ala .
Stopping the nerve damage is a definite goal. So I take a few other supplements that supposedly support nerve health
I am curious. Do you think the damaged nerves causing the neuropathy will regenerate after the chemotherapy ends?
Hopefully debbieo

@debbieod NO, once a nerve is damaged or has died it can't be regenerated, it's permanent.

@debbieod that's a loaded question that I do not have the answer to. Lol
From what I've read about it though, there's a favored probability that most of the feeling will return. I'd take the neuropathy over the cancer though, any day!! Treatment Monday, 24th, then 2 more and we'll see.
The neuropathy doesn't seem to be getting worse with this 2nd round but it is a cumulative thing too so I won't know or possibly see any beneficial results until way after chemo ends.
Not sure I understand the comment about pre propreception, my mind and body knowing where everything is......my mind and body do know where everything is but that doesn't stop me from having careless mishaps. 🤣
