Living with Neuropathy - Welcome to the group

Hi Hank/Linda @jesthefactsmon, I have 383 emails in my neuropathy group and some in other groups. So please forgive if this is a repeat. Consumerlab.com is not owned by any drug manufacturers aka Big Pharma. They are an independent company who hires various labs to do studies. They also provide a wealth of information on many subjects besides supplements. I've been very impressed and it takes a lot to impress me! Hope you all are well and thriving. Warmest wishes, Sunny

Can you tell me if Maximum strength Neuropathy support formula w/alpha Lipoic Acid helps. What does it help?

Thank you for the support and info. this group has a ton of information. Recently I have been getting a Email that the heading reads, Mayo has found a cure for neuropathy! If you open there is a product by ( I’m sorry but don’t recall name ) but it discourages me that they use Mayo’s name to advertise there product. I have tried some advertised products, Nerve Renew, the Revitive machine which by the way seemed to be helping a lot then began to fail. I am in a FB group for neuropathy also, numerous have mentioned a product called Nevestra.. I just want to find a way to bring my life back. This is such a crippling thing. I’m a rancher and enjoy outdoor life, but this has taken away that enjoyment and practically chaired me. I force myself to do what I can, I live alone, so I cook my meals and care for the house and my pets. I take in as much as I can handle of my ranch activities. Just keep praying that God will answer my prayers. Bill5

Hi, have you started taking Maximum strength Neuropathy support formula? If you want to try it, it does not appear to me to have anything harmful in it. It will either help you or not. After the first bottle, if you have not gotten any benefit, just move on. It has a few of the things my wife takes for her neuropathy, i.e. lipoic acid, benfotiamine, acetyl l carnitine, b12, turmeric and others. Of these, she has noticeable benefits from her turmeric (curcumin) supplement more than some of the others, but some people swear by lipoic acid (we take r lipoic acid), b12, it's kind of all over the map depending on the person, just like everything involving neuropathy. It also contains some herbs such as feverfew, skullcap, and others, which might be good, I do not know. The question I would have would be to the quality and source of each different component, which is why we take things individually after researching them. Best, Hank

@jestfactsmon, I think your last sentence is so important. I only wish I'd thought to research "the only new med prescribed" when my earlier nausea, appetite and wt loss began. It didn't dawn on my doc either that the "new med" could be the culprit.

After a horrid bout of Diverticulitis, I kept a diary of foods slowly re-introduced into my diet. I'd add one raw or cooked veggie to the diet each week so when I had a flare up, it was easy to recognize brussel sprouts as the culprit. Can eat them now again but I've become a real believer, like you, in trying one new thing at a time.

Hello All,

I’m just responding to this group. I have watched the posts and learning a lot from them. One post just recently really caught my attention and I cannot seem to locate it for referral. The post was in regards to a packaged supplements of alpha lapoic acid that included multiple variations of pills. It explained the difference for r ala and s alpha lapoic acid to treat progressive diabetic autoimmune neuropathy pain starting with the feet.
I know this post will probably make any sense but if the person who listed it and recalls their posting could you please let me know the name of the manufacturer?
