I've had chemo induced neuropathy for two years now (which I didn't think was progressive) and just in the last couple of months, I am starting to get a lot of spasms.
Back on the high school track team we used to eat bananas (increase potassium) and make sure we were drinking lots of water to handle spasms.
Does anyone know if this helps with pn spasms? Is the mechanism similar or completely different?
Does anyone know if chemo induced pn gets progressively worse? I thought it was a hit-and-run sort of thing, where you simply stay at the level you were left with if your nerves didn't heal with the chemo damage.
Thanks for any thoughts,
Natalie

I'm not sure about bananas but eating pumpkin seeds help me tremendously with cramping. I haven't had any leg cramps at night since eating a handful or so of pumpkin seeds daily. I buy them right at Wal*mart--a pretty good size bag for under $3.00. they are high in magnesium.
