Hello @pacodennis - I take R-ALA as one of the supplements to help with my neuropathy but I don't have any pain, just numbness. I know others have reported it helped with the neuropathy pain. If you do decide to try it, make sure you get the 100% - R-ALA vs the stuff that just says ALA. The cheaper stuff is normally contains 50% R-ALA and 50% S-ALA which is the synthetic stuff that doesn't help. Here's a few references that discuss how it helps...
