Need hope: Neuropathy from chemo

There is no medication for neuropathy but there are numerous studies using supplements. I read one from the Cleveland Clinic that showed good results and have been following their recommendation with good results. They recommend taking 400 mg of CoQ10 and 20 mg of PQQ daily. The neuropathy in my hands is completely gone and my feet are much improved. The majority of the pain in my feet is gone, but I still have numbness in some places. I started this a year after chemo. The hands showed improvement quickly, the feet were slower. But the worst of the pain was gone in 3-4 months. Not an overnight cure, but my pain is gone.

Wow! That is amazing! Thank you for sharing that will me! I'm so glad to know that the pain is gone, even after a year after your chemo (though it takes time). Thanks again!

Is the Cleveland Clinic study regarding CoQ10 and PQQ for chemo induced neuropathy only? Could these two supplements help for idiopathic neuropathies of the feet and hands?
