@chiara58, not sure if this will help with your neuropathy, but I had lingering feelings of toxicity for several years after my intense chemo…neuropathy symptoms, odd stiffness, etc.. I tried acupuncture, which did help a little. What has helped me the most is having regular massages. After returning to my favorite massage therapist after a lengthy absence of a few years, I mentioned how I was feeling. She explained chemo toxicity can remain in the cells long after therapy is over. She started with a lymphatic massage. I admit for the first 2 days after I was tired and felt like I had a chemo infusion! She had warned me that I might feel not feel the best for a few days. I drank copious amounts of water to flush my system. I swear this cleansed my body! Even my bloodwork improved since then. I finally felt whole again and continue with monthly sessions. I no longer have of the nagging symptoms I had before. Might be worth a try, having a massage with a certified massage therapist. If nothing else, it’s so relaxing. 😉
