5. Or try Acetyl L-Carnitine.

Not just L-Carnitine, mind you.

Not only is being studied for use in patients with Alzheimer's, a recent study showed it was very useful in treating NRTI related peripheral neuropathy in patients with HIV.

Acetyl-l-carnitine (ALCAR) improves the symptoms of peripheral neuropathy and promotes nerve regeneration, according to a British study published in the July 23rd edition of AIDS.

Distal symmetrical polyneuropathy (DSP), a type of peripheral neuropathy, is a side effect of certain nucleoside analogue reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), especially the dideoxynucleotide drugs d4T (stavudine or Zerit), ddC (zalcitabine or Hivid), and ddI (didanosine or Videx). Toxic neuropathy affects 11-66% of patients taking NRTIs. Given the lack of effective therapies for DSP, discontinuation of NRTIs is often necessary to relieve neuropathic pain.
