I wanted to share my experience in hopes that it helps someone else. I developed severe neuropathy in my hands and feet after chemotherapy for breast cancer. I talked to doctors and looked online, but found no clear guidelines for relief. After trying for over a year with no improvement, I went researching again online. NIH had an article about supplement use, and mentioned studies but did not give clear guidance. But hearing about studies, I went digging again. I found a study by the Cleveland Clinic that got good results with 300 mg of CoQ10 and 20 mg of PQQ daily. I have been using this combination for a year now and things have improved dramatically. My finger tips no longer feel burnt, just a little numb. I cannot tell you the joy I felt when I took off my shoes and felt the floor for the first time. I still have discomfort in my feet, but much improved and no longer hurts to walk. The one symptom that doesn’t feel much better is the feeling of sand between my toes. My doctor had been monitoring my progress and is as pleased as I am. This may not work for everyone, and it’s definitely not an overnight cure, but most of the pain was gone in three months. I can only say what it’s done for me. Stick with it, again it’s not a quick fix, but you should start getting relief after a couple of weeks. What was important to me is that this isn’t just another pain reliever that I’d have to keep taking forever. It’s a cute that has stopped my reliance on pain meds. With Hope. Janet Davis
