I have now had neuropathy in my arms, lower legs and feet for eight years. I do not take anything for it, but use Vick Vapour Rub at night to help prevent that awful itching burning in my feet - it works quite well for some reason. I now find it very difficult to walk, and have very poor balance. However, my consultant told me at the beginning that unfortunately there is no cure for this problem, and so I decided that all that Icould do was to try and adapt my life to live with it. I loved walking our dogs, so when things became too risky, my husband bought me a motorbility scooter, and the dogs and I go off for some wonderful walks, so I still have a certain amount of freedom and independence. Sleeping well becomes a problem, but I just thank the Lord that I am no longer having to get up for work, and can have a snooze during the day if I feel really tired. I hit the grand old age of 83 next month, and so count myself very lucky to still be here and enjoying life. Having lost several friends and relatives to cancer, and seen the horrors of both the illness and the treatment, I am thankful that my problem is not fatal (unless I fall and break my neck!!!) and that I caNSTILL ENJOY EACHDAY.
