Default Introducing new member

Hi, I am new here. I have CIPN from June 2013. I had to stop chemo due to neuropathy. I was almost done I had two sessions left. My neuropathy was first sensory. From last week I noticed some muscle weakness in both legs and arms. I have muscle twitching, cramping and pain. I think my neuropathy is now motor neuropathy. I have an appointment with my neurologist in two weeks. Let's see what he will say! I am worried why did it get worse? I am doing physical therapy, even after that why I had do I have muscle weakness. What to do to make stop the neuropathy progress? I know I need to lose weight. I gained 30 pounds during chemotherapy. But is it the reason why the neuropathy is progressing? My therapist said that I have 100 percent muscles in my legs. I am taking supplement B12,vitamin D, iron, one a day woman vitamin. I am on Gabapentin 800mg a day.
Please any advice.
