Welcome to NeuroTalk...Sabela...

If you search the PN forum for "chemo" you'll find posts with
suggestions to use OTC agents to help prevent or lessen damage to nerve cells DNA by chemo drugs.

example:

Acetyl carnitine was used in some studies over the past and showed some improvement in some people. They used 1 to 2 grams a day.

We have more information at our Peripheral Neuropathy forum here:

Chemo also depletes magnesium, so using a SlowMag twice a day may help replace that. There is a lotion now that is very convenient and helpful for specific targets like the feet or lower legs etc. Morton Epsom Lotion...available at WalMart and online at Amazon.com Use only a little bit on each application as it is concentrated and you don't need alot. Apply only to intact skin.
If you apply at night it will help you sleep too.
