Does magnesium help neuropathy?

I 've had neuropathy in my feet since i had chemo for breast cancer. My oncologist at the time told me to take magnesium L-threonate. I bought some on Amazon. I had stopped taking it because it gave me diarrhea. I figured I'd try again. I have had some diarrhea, but I figured I'd just treat the diarrhea and use the magnesium. A few days ago, I noticed I had feeling in my afflicted left hand again. Last night I got out of the shower , walked to my room and felt something was odd. I realized I was feeling the cushiness and texture of the carpet under my feet! My big hope is maybe I will improve enough to drive again. I'll be 81 in October.
I also have been using the new VoxxLife patches for my balance and they definitely help.
Plus, I started taking liquid quinine and my leg cramps completely stopped. Before they affected me sitting, bending and trying to sleep. I'm a a retired RN and I love researching ways to "fix" myself.

raebaby thank you for your suggestion. I will try some of the magnesium. Can you tell me what strength you take and how often you take it. Appreciate it see connect and I appreciate you!

I need some help due to a procedure that I’m having Monday and very scared. I’m having a bladder sling and a Colpocleisis! Any soothing information would be appreciated
I'm checking in again. I'm 83 now. The nerves in my feet never did improve enough to drive again. I just got back from a great trip in Cancun and other than being old, i had a wonderful time.
How many milligrams magnesium L-threonate are you taking because mine is only 200 mg but I was reading on other comments here 400 mg might be a better solution but it all depends on the side effects like diarrhea right?
Thank you in advance, I'm desperate

@raebaby, this does give hope. I hope you continue to experience improvements with oral magnesium. I actually moved your comment to this existing discussion:

@runnergirl and @retired123 were looking into magnesium infusions for neuropathy.
Rae, there are different types of oral magnesium. How did you know to use magnesium L-threonate? Was it recommended by your doctor?
