@njed, I read an excellent medical article written by PN specialists for internists and other professionals. It might be helpful to you too. It was linked in the discussion group, "SN in feet" on February 19th by @larry4343. One takeaway for me is that alpha lipoic acid has been prescribed. It's a long read, but I think it's worthwhile.
