Try acupuncture administered by a well-trained practitioner. It improves energy and circulation, so it will likely make you feel better in any event...Nothing lost, possibly something gained in terms of reducing neuropathy. Another good thing to take is homemade bone broth - for energy -- also and making you feel stronger pre- and post- chemo treatments. Activities that require movement of fingers and toes, knitting, for example, or one of the other contributor's suggestions of walking in a thermal or hot-water pool -- are great.

I have not heard of any good creams, lotions or tonics that might work. Activity and movement seem to work best, from what I have heard.

@gisellef thanks for the information. I have been using Hempvana cream and it helps me get to sleep. I also bought a pair of reflexology shoes and wear them every day for about 30 minutes. It helps with the neuropathy. I also bought a pair of barefoot shoes and wear them in the house. I can't go barefoot anymore because it hurts my feet. Also try to stay on my feet a lot.
