L-glutamine for Chemo related Neuropathy

Hi beebe,
I developed chemo-induced neuropathy in both my feet and fingers. The neuropathy in my fingers greatly resolved on its own over the past year and a half with some lingering effects. But my feet did not seem to be getting any better with the problem starting just below my knees. I started taking 600 mg of R-Alpha Lipoic Acid and 600 mg of N-A-C Sustain about two months ago and have only recently been noticing what seems to me an improvement. The sensation in my calves has mostly returned to normal and my feet are less bothersome but still far from recovered. The neuropathy in my fingers I now consider resolved at about 90+% recovery. I used ChatGPT to help me put together the regimen I am following. I've attached a pdf of the protocol and rationale behind it. I asked for a science-supported, safe, progressive protocol I could ease into over time. It advised that it could take about 5-6 months before significant improvements, if any, and that any benefits would likely level off after about two years. I hope this helps.

Johnsmith1580,
Wow!! I am so impressed with the Neuropathy Supplement Regimen. This is what I wish Doctors would do for us. I did not realize ChatGPT was so helpful and thorough. It even gave you name brands for each supplement too, amazing! I will reread it and add to my supplements and maybe look into a TENS unit. My oncologist said they do not work, but he is not into supplements or therapies beyond Chemo.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this information, I am sure it will help many others too:)
