I have had chemo induced neuropathy in both feet, finger tips, and left leg from the knee down since 2020 when I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Nobody at the hospital prepared me for neuropathy following my first chemo so I had nothing for the pain. The pain was so bad it was the closest I came to wanting to kill myself. I was prescribed Lyrica (can't do gabapentin) which helped tremendously during and after chemo. Off the Lyrica for nearly 2 years and now intermittent shooting pain is starting up again. Tried Lyrica recently but had to go off it because of dizziness. In addition to neuropathy, I have constant back pain (5 surgeries), have hypothyroidism, and very recently was diagnosed as pre-diabetic. My PT gave me the name of a neurologist for the neuropathy who I just recently saw. She ordered a battery of blood tests and to my surprise I learned I'm pre-diabetic. Thankfully my A1C is at the very bottom of the range. After talking with my older brother, I'm treating that through diet and exercise. My B12 came back normal, but was low. The neurologist told me B12 can have an affect on neuropathy as well as other things. I will start taking a B12 vitamin starting tomorrow. I'm considering replacing my PCP who I've been seeing for many years. My mother died from diabetes and my older brother is pre-diabetic. All of this is in my family history but she never once did an A1C blood test and I'm soon to be 76. As for the neuropathy, I've learned chemo, diabetes, and thyroid disease are all causes. I feel like I only need my PCP these days to write scripts or verify or deny what I already know. Sometimes I feel like I'm the doctor!
