Pregabalin & Gabapentin Not Working.

@gerriw76 I have idipathic neuropathy. I am 79 and was diagnosed over a year ago. I am still very active. The first medication the doctor prescribed for me was Baclofen. I was told its for spinal cord injuries and MS. This knocked down the horrible burning in my legs right away. Then as my symptoms progressed I was also given the regular Lyrica and Cymbalta which I did not take. I moved to the protocol I found on this site and many have used. Acetyll-Carnitine with Alpha-Lipoic Acid (Source Naturals), Liquid B12 5,000 with methylcobamin ( Pure Encapulations). I also added Nerve Ease (online only). I did research on this suppliment because I was so worried about comapnies taking advantage of us. I also start the morning with L-Glutamine powder (Swanson). Everything but the Nerve Ease I gleened from this site. Right now I am doing so much better. The night burning still happens, but its more of a background than forground. Hope this helps. Good luck!

That sounds promising. I am going to have to try what you are doing. I am on Baclofen, only 10mg, so I take 2 at night, trying to get him to up that. I am also taking Lyrica 200mg X3. I was on Cymbolta, but I stopped it days after starting it. Horrible, just horrible. I'm in my 60's and in good shape health wise, but I needed back surgery that resulted in my leg that I can't feel anymore because of the surgery and a foot that is in constant pain 24/7. The meds don't really stop the random neuropathy jolts that I get. I am looking at natural supplements as well. Nerve Block didn't do anything either. Thanks for listing all of that.

@amanancy did you ensure that the Alpha Lipoic acid was all R form?
