Has anyone had success taking Alpha lipoic acid for neuropathy?

@carol1024 I’m so sorry to hear this. I kinda know what you’re going through with your chemo because my brother had to have it three consecutive days every two weeks for a year. It must be difficult for you dealing with both chemo and your neuropathy. I will say a prayer for you.

@bini41 thank you and I do believe in prayers. My neuropathy is 80% gone because of this cream and Alpha lipoic acid-R. I'm now able to feel things with my fingers on right hand and my 3 end toes and bottoms of each foot have feelings back in them and getting better everyday. I will forever advocate the use of these things because I personally know that they work. PET scan is next on Dec 10th and hoping for positive results again. I'll take one step at a time because I'm not sure how many times or long I can receive chemo treatments, this is my second course of 6 treatments, especially ones that now contain Herceptin. When I asked oncologist that question she mentioned maintenance program but I don't feel I'm quite there yet. I have a televisit with my gynecological surgeon in Orlando on Jan 6th and I'll ask him. My local oncologist is carrying out his orders. So far a I haven't been sick at all, have tolerated the treatments very well and things are, for now, going in the right direction. I can only say.... THANK YOU JESUS!!! ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
Keep those prayers coming and I'll do the same for all of you. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

@carol1024 Glad to hear you’re doing well with your chemo and you’re neuropathy is disappearing. I take Alpha lipoic acid-R in combination with other ingredients and use a frankincense and myrrh cream. The cream gives me a little relief. What cream do you use? I’m sure my neuropathy is permanent. 😩 Thanks for your prayers

I have been taking ALA and started with the Nervive 7-day program. It has relieved the burning sensation in my legs and the restlessness which kept me awake at night. Since taking ALA, I have had good night's sleep and no burning sensation nor restlessness. I have decreased the amount from 1800 mg to 1200 mg and hope to go to maintenance dose at 600 mg. I hope you find relief.

@joanihm I started the Ala-R a few days ago. I'd taken the regular about 10 days before doing so. I did order another tube of the neuropathy cream and it came Wed. I will be using this stuff as long as it keeps the neuropathy at bay. Right now, it's a minimum 85% better. I couldn't feel to pick up pills with right hand, now I can. Couldn't feel last 3 toes on each foot, especially the right, nor spread them apart, now I can. The only restless feeling I get is when the bone pain starts. I sleep pretty good at night. I'm pretty much back to normal, except for the issues with neuropathy, after about 5 or 6 days. I suspect I'll use neuropathy cream for quite a while. I'm sorta scared to stop to see how well it's really doing because it's wonderful when you find what works. It's all about hope. ❤️❤️
Best wishes for continued success with your treatment.

@carol1024 May I ask what mg and how many times a day of the ALA-R you are taking. Can you recommend a brand name? Also you mentioned a tube of neuropathy cream. What is the brand name?
Thank you so much.
