I also have neuropathy from chemo. I believe from the original flavors of taxol, Adriamycin, Cytoxin. Then further irritated by the host of medications to follow. My solution to the ever increasing problem of how do I get to sleep with my feet on fire is the very opposite of @drcvs , I put my feet on an ice pack every night when I lay down with my book, when my feet are very cold, I go to sleep. I know it sounds ridiculous, but it works for me. Otherwise I lay there half of the night feeling like my feet should come with a fire warning label. 🙄I know they cannot repair the nerves, but this allows me to sleep and prepare for another full day of life.
So now we have hot water, and ice pack, any other tips out there?

It’s been 5 years and I’m feet are “on fire “ at night. I take 400ml magnesium glucinate twice a day now along with Alpha alipoic acid along with my meds and supplements. I still apply lidocaine ointment to the bottoms of my feet and get off them more frequently. And I gave up Diet Coke 🥳
