Rachel, on a post somewhere in this dialogue, you mentioned your experience with R-Alpha Lipoic Acid and the regimen you have found that best suits you. I ordered the R-Alpha Lipoic Acid 300 mg and thought I might take just one capsule/day for several weeks. Do you take it morning or night and also with or without food? Also I just receive liquid B12 Methylcobalamin & adenosylcobalamin. This is all new to me .. have you heard people mention with or without food etc? Thanks for sharing .. fresh diagnosis and a lot to wade through.

HI @rebe, welcome back to Connect. Thanks for reaching out with your questions about my experience with R-Alpha Lipoic Acid. I noticed you haven't posted in a while, I'm sorry for your recent diagnosis of small fiber neuropathy. Did you have a skin punch biopsy to confirm your diagnosis?

My neurologist recommended I begin taking R-Alpha Lipoic Acid and Acetyl L Carnitine for neuropathy. Although I no longer take supplements, I recall him prescribing the dosage. Have you spoke to your neurologist regarding supplementation and the best practices?
