i had some residual neuropathy from back fusion surgery 12/23 before the cancer infusions (2/25/25). i switched from B-100's which i've been taking forever to Life Extensions B12/Folate from amazon because i heard too much B6 isn't good (i also take multi's but switched from the female old person to just the normal ones). also taking L Glutamate. the neuropathy actually IMPROVED with this switch!!! (also my feet still feel a bit numb from the back surgery but it isn't bothering my walking or standing - just weird). good luck. The chemo really never bothered me much although WBC's and neutrophils have plummeted. not just doing Herceptin every 3 weeks. hoping it isn't as toxic (oh yeah, i DID lost all my body hair but, hey, it's just hair!)
the weird thing is that i never got the same side effects twice. after second infusion i had horrid knee pain (only at night and for about 4-5 nights) and nightly headaches but never again (and i've had 6 infusions). so, i could never really plan ( by taking aleve ahead of time, etc).
@jchantler I live in a state (Michigan) where marijuana is legal. Marijuana dispensaries have popped up all over. I've found out that there are many of us "old folks" who go into these dispensaries to get gummies. When you think about it people have been using marijuana for years for pain due to cancer and cancer treatments. Why shouldn't we try gummies? It's great that you've found something that will both reduce pain and allow you to sleep.
