I too have chemo induced neuropathy. My oncologist told me to take B12 and folic acid. I had my last chemo treatment May 9th and she told me to give it another month or so, but it is temporary.
It comes and goes on me, some days are good, some not. I have pain, an aching pain in my legs and lower back and sometimes my legs feel a little "dead".
So if you'd like to take the B12, it's 1,000 per day and the folic acid is 1 mg a day.
Good Luck,
Punch

Gabapentin 600 mg. every 8 hrs. Have heard about the vitamin B's. Have taken Neuropathy Support on and off, not sure if it helps. I have Neuropathy in my hands and feet. All suggestions would be helpful.
