@tracypage, I have a blood cancer, also, I did not mention. Not MGUS. I take chemo pills. The diet and other things I discussed still help some. Topical creams containing menthol and eucalyptus can help with falling asleep. I never need more than Tylenol and he cream before bed—Epsom Salts warm foot baths, vibrating and heating massagers for the feet, ditto. Red light slippers (Amazon) also work very well if done daily. There are *many* things to help with symptoms that also help fight what chemo or diseases did.

The bottom line is that they damaged or killed nerves, and some also hurt your circulation in the legs, feet, and toes. I also wear compression socks, helping with circulation. If you join one of the neuropathy groups on FB you will get all kinds of ideas from others who have neuropathy! I moderate two of them. Members are in the thousands. Many people have idiopathic PN or neuropathy by known causes.

@circawdm I assumed you had cancer or had MGUS since the topic included MGUS.

But not all neuropathy works the same way and what worked for you is wonderful for you and I am glad you are in less pain and able to manage it.

I like the red light socks idea. Right now I am recovering from a 6 hour surgery and that feeling of imaginary bed sores is driving me nuts and the oversensitivity in my skin. The neurologist described this as more similar to short fiber neuropathy even though the cause is high IgM.
