Default Hi everyone

This is my first post, I am a 67 year old female, 2 years ago I had breast cancer I was lucky it was stage 1, had radiation for 8 weeks after surgery and everything seems fine, a year ,after started getting pins and needles in hands it has now progressed just passed the elbows and the legs have the same symptoms up to the knees. From being active a year ago I have now a walker, everything I touch feels like barbed wire. Had 3 EMG's and each one showed more deteriation the neurologist said it was peripheral neuropathy with unknown origin,as you all know who suffer with this it certainly isn't fun. All the blood work I had was fine. I am taking gabapentine 2400 a day, 2 Tylenol. 3 twice a day and at night 2-Tylenol 3 and lorazepam. I always get a good nights sleep. After reading the threads I got interested in the vitamin part I have started taking 2000 a day of B12, I also take C,D, Omega 3 Aspirin(low dose) and cod liver oil, not sure how much of these I should take, or if there is anything else I could take.I am fairly healthy otherwise but the pain from this in my arms and legs nearly leave me bedridden. Any help would be appreciated.
