Neuropathy treatment using Alpha Lipoid Acid infusions:

I take oral alpha lipoic acid and think it is helping. I cannot be sure but I just bought some more! Infusions of course would be more potent. I would really appreciate hearing if the infusion helps!

There is another discussion on the topic that you might want to look at:

Thank you for the information you provided in the link above. It was very helpful. I plan to start IV infusions in a couple of weeks. I will report the results on this website.

I currently use Alpha Lipoic Acid for my foot cramps due to peripheral neuropathy. It was usually happens during the night hours. Since I began taking it I find I am not having any issues. I have told several of my doctors NP’s about it and they knew nothing of this product. If you have thyroid issues it warns NOT TO TAKE. I find it’s helps me a great deal. I am willing to try anything to to relieve my neuropathy. As I see it my future looks bleak. The burning, numbness and tightening in my feet and ankles is severe.

"The burning, numbness and tightening in my feet and ankles is severe"..... I hear you and I've tried almost everything. I even tried a trial Spinal Cord Stimulator. It worked very well at reducing the pain (I also have sciatic nerve damage). I will have the permanent SCS shortly. I want my life back. Good luck debeve, hope you find your solution.

Germany has been using the infusions since 1959 with great luck. I pills to not work as well.

That’s great information and good to hear. Thank you

I have just finished a 20 infusion series IV Alpha Lipolic acid.. it took 13 infusions before I begin to be sure that I was getting results. I feel like my neuropathic pain is about 25% of what it was when I started.
The provider is in Albuquerque, New Mexico. My pain was on the very edge of making me dread the future with it… getting worse by the month so I am thrilled that this has helped. I think I will probably have more at least once a year.
