I too have MFS. You can find some of my posts about my condition here: https://forum.gbs-cidp.org/topic/post-miller-fisher

Some MFS sufferers have been helped by taking Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA). This is a non-prescription dietary supplement that is available in the vitamin section of many stores. I use the following product and take 1200MG per day: http://www.supplementwarehouse.com/viewitem.asp?idproduct=162545

A clinical trial was completed last year in Oregon to exam how ALA treats CIDP. We are still waiting for the researchers to post their findings here: http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00962429?term=lipoic+acid&rank=13
