My hands are finally steady again

For years, I’ve struggled with that constant prickling in my fingers that eventually turned into a real lack of coordination.

It was getting embarrassing to go out for lunch with my bridge club because I’d struggle to hold my cards or even a coffee cup without worrying about a tremor or a sudden sharp sting. I tried everything my doctor suggested over the last few years. I did the B12 injections for six months, which were a literal pain and didn’t seem to do much for the numbness. I also tried a prescription that made me feel like I was walking through a thick fog all day, so I had to stop that pretty quickly. I even bought those expensive compression gloves, but they just made my hands feel claustrophobic without actually stopping the underlying fire.

About two months ago, I started taking Nervala (i get it here, discounted!) after reading about the combination of high-dose alpha lipoic acid and benfotiamine. I was skeptical because I’d tried standard B-vitamins before, but this felt different. It took about four weeks before I noticed the “background noise” in my nerves starting to quiet down. The shooting pains that used to wake me up at 3 AM have mostly subsided, and I can actually feel the texture of things again. What I like most is that it’s just one supplement instead of a handful of different pills, and I haven’t had any of the stomach upset I got with other brands. It isn’t a 100% cure—I still have bad days if I overdo it—but the consistency is much better than anything else I’ve tried. If you’re struggling, it might be worth a look, though obviously everyone reacts differently. Just make sure to give it enough time to actually build up in your system.

It is so hard when it starts affecting your hobbies. Glad to hear you are back at the bridge table!

Did you compare this to just buying the individual components separately? I’ve seen those ingredients sold on their own and wondered if it makes a difference.

Did you notice any weird aftertaste with the 600mg dose? I’ve had issues with other supplements being hard on my stomach.

I looked at buying the ingredients separately, but Nervala was a better deal for the dosage I wanted and I prefer only taking one capsule in the morning. Plus no aftertaste for me so far.

I had a similar experience with Nervala for my feet. It took a while to notice, but the burning sensation is much less frequent now.

Make sure you’re still doing your stretches too. Supplements help but keeping the circulation moving is key.

Adding my voice to the pile here, Nervala has been a staple for me since January and it definitely helps with the morning stiffness.

Thanks for the update. It is always helpful to hear what is actually working for people in our age group.
