Thank you and I'm sorry I have to be here too But I'm hopeful , where a few days ago I was pretty frustrated. There is a ton of info here.

"Hopeful" is a great place to be!
We are all here should things look down a bit at any time!
Have a great day!

I am really curious how Lance Armstong avoided neuropathy....or how he copes with it. He was nailed with major chemo and he seems to be better for it! (Not really, but, his recovery is astounding.) I wonder if the chemo ever causes autonomic neuropathy. I have seen AN in chest radiation patients, usually those who got radiation for lymphoma.....I actually diagnosed a case in one of my clients when I had the medical fitness center....I had read outs and given his medical history and his response to exercise....I figured out that was what he had and I sent him to the doc, and yep, that was it....then....I got the idea that it was also what was going on with me.....and yep....it was.

Lance is pretty amazing, but I'm also sure he had the best Doctors and nutritionists in his corner. There are things I learned since via the net that had I understood about PN might have helped

Competitive athletes typically use tons of supplements.

Also some chemo drugs are "worse" than others as far as neuropathy inducers.

Well my organic beets scared the heck out of me this week.

I remembered this year, that beets turn your pee red.....I forgot it turns your poo red....and everything else in the toilet bowl red....cripes! Sorry to get so graphic.....

My Diltiazem had me so constipated this last week that I almost croaked from the cramps(You are correct Mrsd).......

I looked before the flussssshhhh. Don't ask me why, but it took so much effort I thought it best to perhaps take one short glance at what I so painfully extruded.... Just to make sure it didn't have a gender.....

OMG....quick.....get me to the ER....holy cow.....then my hubby says....,'Hey, didn't you eat beets yesterday?" Duh....

Maybe beets will 'eliminate' my neuropathy?? They have managed to disapate my dignity. I think I will sell the rest of them....
