Have you tried Restural Neurofuel, and does it help with numbness?
There isn't specific information available about Restural Neurofuel for MS-related numbness. However, some MyMSTeam members have explored alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) for nerve pain, which is sometimes found in supplements. One member mentioned reading that "alpha-lipoic acid helps with nerve pain."
Research on ALA for MS is ongoing, with clinical trials testing its safety and effectiveness for relapsing-remitting MS and secondary progressive MS. A 2016 study suggested ALA might help protect nerves from damage in the brain.
For numbness specifically, doctors typically recommend medications like gabapentin or pregabalin, which are FDA-approved for nerve pain. Some people also find relief through:
- Cooling affected areas with ice packs
- Gentle massage or pressure
- Water-based exercise
- Avoiding overheating
It's important to talk with your neurologist before trying any new supplement, especially since they can review how it might interact with your current treatments and whether it's appropriate for your specific symptoms.
