Tada! -- Hi Angie @ancopau1998, I am easy to find when you tag me using my member name @johnbishop 🙃 I had replied to you back in December of last year but never heard back. My bad for not reaching out sooner to see how you were doing. Here was my post in the first discussion you found -- Neuropathy: Numbness only, no pain: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/661491/.

I haven't really found any lotions that helped with the numbness but I have found a few that made the feet and legs feel better. I think because it helps to keep your skin moisturized and the peripheral nerves are close to the skin. I really like Life-Flo Magnesium lotion but any lotion that is a good moisturizer helps to keep your skin from drying out and would help any healing process if there is to be one.

Your first post mentioned you were taking chemo pills for Multiple Myeloma. I didn't think of it at the time, but there is a good video that you might helpful on chemo induced peripheral neuropathy. I posted the Webinar: Chemo-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy video in another discussion here – What helps the symptoms of Small Fiber Neuropathy?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/666818/.

How are you doing with your Multiple Myeloma?

Hi John. my neuropathy has been a problem for about 12 years only the numb feeling from diabetes. Then when I started chemo pills 3 years ago it has got worse, it's mainly my toes. As far as my Myeloma I'm doing pretty good, when I first started Revlimid I had loose stools and short of breath which I landed in hospital. Breathing treatments helped a lot and I don;t have that anymore. I'm doing good on the Revlimid thats all I take now for over a year for cancer. As far as the toes I just hope the whole foot never goes numb! Thanks for asking about the MM!! Take care and thanks again!!
