Hi, sorry to hear about this. probably you are having side effect of chemotherapy drugs, since when you are on chemo and what for. You need to see your treating physician who can discuss change in dose or add up drugs to.
Take care, Bye,

If you are still receiving chemo, there are studies showing that Vit E can mitigate the neuropathy.

If it is from chemo you had in the past, take 2 rounded tsp of L-glutamine in water daily.  If you see improvement by the end of your "bucket" of glutamine, it works for you.  If it doesn't, it never will.  You can find glutamine in any stores that has prducts for body builders.

hope this helps.  it is from feedback of many patients...

Hi,
Thank you for your responses...I had a tough year and still have neuropathy. I am now taking Coconut oil, and vitamins B6, B12. I shall try the L-glutamine. Hope it helps!
I am waling now, and using my wheelchair less and less. Yes! No more chemo since the Spring of 2007. I hope I don't need it ever again. Do you have CIPN also?
