Hi Beth - I had PN before chemo, and was already taking Gabapentin. The chemo made my PN worse, but only temporarily I’m glad to say. We increased my Gabapentin a little during that time, though I was already taking 3 a day. It sure helped with the night sweats and chills, and I feel it helped get my numbness and tingling back to pre-chemo levels. It took a few weeks to start working consistently though. I’ve yet to try a vibrator for numb feet.

Have you tried Kratom? It has knocked down my pain from a 10 to a 3. Taken correctly it’s amazing and comes from the coffee family. There’s a lot of bad info out there because the Big Pharmacy folks don’t want people to stop taking their drugs. You can get more information on Kratom from the National Kratom Foundation. Is safe, non addictive and it has no side affects. My physician suggested this and I will always be thankful it’s saved my life.
