I have CIPN (chemo induced peripheral neuropathy) which started in 2010 and was made so much worse when a doctor put me on ciprofloxacin for a UTI (which I will never understand as there is a warning on the prescription that it must not be given to patients with neuropathy). The only thing I have found that saves my sanity is taking long walks out in nature, someplace quiet away from people and pets. All the "remedies" seem to come with more debilitating side effects. I always take a nice sturdy walking stick and tuck a small pepper spray in my pocket, and head out to the open fields and woodland paths. I can't tell you how much that helps my whole outlook! So I sincerely recommend it to all who start to feel hopeless, it's worth a try and doesn't cost a thing!
