Hi @pjfrahm, welcome to Connect. Thanks for sharing. I also was diagnosed with idiopathic small fiber peripheral neuropathy at Rochester Mayo Clinic. I only have the numbness so there was no drug treatment prescribed since there are not any available. I take supplements also to help with the numbness. It seems to have stopped or at least slowed down the progression of the neuropathy for me. R-ALA is one of the supplements I take also. You can read my story and find the links to how I found what has helped me here:

I retire from my second career of 21 years at the end of this year...but I'm not counting ☺ Good luck on your retirement! It's good to do your research.

Mayo has never really given me any answers on the cause of my neuropathy as I've asked if it could be nerve damage from spinal fusion I had in 2002. I never had any issues with my feet prior to that time. They claim it isn't and I'd have to have another EMG (NOPE!!!) to diagnose for sure. I'd rather just play the guessing game if they haven't given me an answer after 3 prior EMG's, why would one more make any difference. BTW, my husband thinks I'm nuts because every night when I get home from work, I sweep our kitchen, entryway and dining room. I can feel everything, tiny bits of sand, salt and crumbs and they actually hurt. Guess only someone with neuropathy issues would understand. He could always save me the trouble and do it himself. (Now, THAT's FUNNY!!!). 😀
