Neuropathy and natural supplements such as magnesium and alpha acid

First off, I want to say if I didn’t have this Mayo Clinic website I would have lost it. Thank you for all the advise and caring you give.
Second, I would like to ask if anyone has had great results from taking alpha lipoid acid and magnesium ? I’m a soon to be a 67 year old female that neuropathy hit 3 years ago. It’s a nightmare at times. I have known people with Cancer that live normal lives now, which I’m very thankful for, it seems neuropathy just goes on, no matter. You can try to do the things you used to do but sometimes it is to no avail as it’s hard to even get out of bed in the morning because of pain. I also have the pchological problem of being so reliant on my husband when I have been independent , worked out, loved to cook, now it’s hard to stand, only short periods of time. I think I am over Dr.s, it’s like chasing the wind.
My question is, has anyone tried the alpha lopic acid along with magnesium ? How many milligrams is safe for a medium size woman and what is the best brand for both of these. Dr.s will poo poo this as they want to push the drugs, I’ve been prescribed everything and couldn’t tolerate Cymbalta, I almost scratched myself to the bone. I have been on steroids several times, it can destroy every part of your body, not sure why that is not realized. I want to finally try something natural, if anyone can help I would appreciate it very much.
Thank you, Judy
