My oncologist recommended B complex, which I was already taking. He also said Alpha lipoic acid, and L-Glutamine might help. I am on gem-brax and just had my 8th treatment which is when my neuropathy in feet started., so am taking all of the above, plus Epson salt foot soak really helped. As of today. 3 days later, no pain or tingling.

Wish I could "repost" this like in LinkedIn. Hopefully the anti-neuropathy regimen you are using could also work for others. There's also the booties and mittens with freezed iced pack inserts that you wear while getting a chemo that has the potential to cause neuropathy. I can't personally attest to their effectiveness, only because I got them after my treatment with abraxane was ended due to the neuropathy but others seem confident in their benefits.
