From Eirrol, can you explain a bit more about the alpha lipoid acid for the neuropathy ? Is this supposed to help all kinds of neuropathy ? How long did it take to give you relief ? I am very interested but I also have acute kidney injury with 30% function and neuropathy from shingles brought on by extremely high does of prednisone and chemo. I really am in favor of taking natural products .

Hi @eirrol, While you wait for a response from @amyj2022, @deluga and others, I thought I would share a few references on Alpha Lipoic Acid that might be helpful:

As with taking any supplements, especially if you have a medical condition and are taking other medications, you should discuss them with your doctor before taking them.
