Small Fiber Neuropathy: What helps?

Posted by lisadog33 @lisadog33, Mar 28, 2017

I have been diagnosed with Small Fiber Neuropathy. My problem is this. Since before they diagnosed me, I was having other symptoms that I thought were not related including loss of appetite/weight loss, bladder control, bowel control, problem with eyesight at times, tremors, sleep issues among some other things. I was told by my Neurologist that those things are not related to small fiber neuropathy but when I look it up, it says it can affect your autonomic nervous system. What is the truth. I am having a heck of a time with bladder and bowel issues as well as either sleeping through the alarm or not sleeping at all. I hope someone can shed some light on this for me. Thank you.

Can someone tell me the best place to order R ALA and what brand is a good deal. I’m looking for 300 mg and there seem to be a ton of them with a wide range in prices.

I'm not sure about the best place to order but before I was ordering the protocol (https://theprotocolworks.com/) I have used these two from Amazon.

Thank you for the reply John. Of the two links you sent one is for 60 pills and the other 90 for roughly the same price. That’s the confusion I’m having. Is there a reason to pay more for a particular brand of R ALA? Do terms like stabilized matter? I’m thinking made in the USA is probably a good thing. Any help anyone can provide would be appreciated.

Quality wise I think they are both comparable but the 90 count is .37/capsule vs .57/capsule for the 60 count so a little cheaper. The stabilized just means it is more bioavailable and easier for your body to absorb.

I take the following brand of ALA (600 mg). It helps me quite a bit manage small fiber neuropathy pain. I have also taken Acetyl L Carnitine. Good luck getting a good brand that works for you!
