Alpha lipoic acid for Neuropathy

ALA works for me too. I took 100 mg 2xday for a few months, then lowered to 100 mg daily and now only 100mg on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Has kept everything under control for about 5 years now. I also take Super B complex which makes me feel energetic without caffeine and is good for nerve restoration and also choline because I never got over the pain after my gall bladder was removed and a patient shared that on a medical website and it works moderately well. I may not be cured, but I am managing it and rarely have breakthrough stinging or crawling sensations on my feet and legs and they only last a second, literally. I also make sure I don't let my legs and feet swell because that causes more problems so I lay down a while in the afternoon and use a recliner when I watch TV at night. I know the stinging, burning, itching, and crawly feelings can really make you suffer. My step mother was in agony from it and nothing the doctors did helped at all. She would cry and cry from the pain. She finally passed away and doesn't have to suffer anymore.

How long did you take alpha lipoic acid before you started to see it helping the tingling? I’ve been taking 600 mg for about 6 weeks and haven’t seen any results yet.
