Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

Yes, I am dealing with Neuropathy had it 1st in my feet from chemotherapy 20 years ago, the Dr. changed my cocktail to different medicines, it never got to bad but, never went away. The second time started 5 years after finishing treatment, this was tingling in the tips of my fingers of my right side, which was also the side my Breast cancer was on. This started 20 years ago, it got steadily worse, I also had had a cervical spinal fusion about 2 years later. I have been told that I have Kidney Disease no symptoms this limits which medications I can take. That was all 15 years ago, it’s been a long journey trying to find out what was wrong. I have torn rotator cuffs in both arms for the second time, the muscles and tendons have retracted down my arms. One year ago the fusion plate was taken out of my back and a rod has replaced it going further down my spine. The original plate was found to have compressed two nerves which is probably the cause of the neuropathy. I am a little old lady that still has a lot to do and still have fun with family and friends.

Welcome @judygiampa, Thanks for sharing your experience with neuropathy and more. You zest for life shows in your last sentence! I also love my glass being half full vs half empty. It sounds like you have learned how to manage your neuropathy symptoms fairly well. Are you able to share what has helped you the most?
