I've got a very bothersome case of intercostal neuralgia. 

 

I'm thinking that Alpha Lipoic Acid might be useful in addressing that - however I find it nearly impossible to take any ALA (or even better R-ALA) without incurring significant reflux.

 

I don't want to take a PPI or a H2 antagonist just to be able to take a supplement that may or may not help. So I'm wondering if using DMSO as a vehicle to move ALA transdermally makes any sense?

 

In general I'm a little skeptical of people that automatically want to turn every compound/supplement into a transdermal - in most cases it's not necessary. But I'm having trouble coming up with a way to get ALA into my system without bumping into this reflux issue, and maybe there would be some benefit to applying it directly to the painful area.

 

Thoughts?
