Hello everyone,

Just to feed some more ideas ...

Here's a very long list of things that have been tried by women suffering chemo induced neuropathy:

There are a couple of minor things mentioned that I haven't seen mentioned here much (although perhaps I just missed those posts).

This is a unique extensive thread that I was involved with, talking about women's real experiences on the CIPN front.

Just thought I'd mention it here in case it helps someone to come at this from a different angle.

I too was on chemo due to colecretal cancer and finished my treatment October 2013. Have had EMG which my Neuro Doc told me I have a "mild"
case and that Iam "coasting". I believe that my neuropathy will get better but it takes the nerves a long time to regenerate. I don't suffer too much from any pain but the numbness is what really bothers me. Taking
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.

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
