Comment:
After years of suffering neuropathy in my toes , I can say I am very satisfied with the results. I was taking gralise, pain killers to no satisfaction. I now am off gralise and pain meds and most of all I have NO PAIN! I am diabetic and RA patient.

Over a period of about six weeks, my diabetic neuropathy progressively lessened. I've been taking it regularly every since and the neuropathy has not returned.

Comment:
I started taking alpha-lipoic acid a year after being diagnosed with neuropathy. Three months later I started to notice an easing of my symptoms. Previously I felt as if I had pencils in my shoes almost constantly but I rarely feel that now. When I ran out of tablets for a few weeks after being on them for about a year my symptoms came back with a bang. Now I wouldn't be without my tablets.
