Every doctor I see recommends R-ala. . I read many forums and also groups on FB. I see this supplement being recommended to most people who see a neurologist.

@debbieod My Neurologist recommended ALA at an extremely low dose. I took it upon myself to use the R-ALA form. I'm almost through the first container which basically covers 30 days and I haven't experienced any improvement. I have other issues (polymyalgia rheuatica, for example) and I'm beginning to think that idiopathic small fiber neuropathy may be a misdiagnosis. I take 300 mg. Gabapentin at bedtime. I'll keep trying to figure this all out.

What brand do you find helpful? I’m new to the group. I have Axonal sensory motor polyneuropathy I was taking Nervive with ALA I was just diagnosed officially after seeing my Neurologist for 2 years ONKY suggested Gabapentin. Anyway I think ALA helped but I’ve gotten worse. Got a B12 shot it didn’t work either. Maybe a flare?
