Does anyone have a treatment for Neuropathy due to chemo

I have had CIPN since near the end of chemo treatment last July. I was wearing braces for drop foot and using a walker. I now use a cane when going out and can get around the house without one.
I have tried acupuncture but did nothing for me. I am on Duloxetine and Gabapenten for pain management which is working for the most part.
I recently started a mega vitamin called Neurovite. It’s on Amazon, kind of expensive.
I have seen steady improvement since the beginning of my neuropathy. My balance is much better.
It’s a wait and see, try everything you can and try to stay positive. Good luck.
