Thanks for your reply. I’ve heard a lot about the side effects of chemo causing neuropathy. I haven’t been diagnosed yet but I’m certain it’s colon cancer accelerating I’m quite worried that my body is signaling great distress. My neuropathy is so bad it won’t let me sleep at night. I wake up with intense burning arms that radiates through my body to my lips.
Doctors are usually dismissive when approaching them with these symptoms. I’ve been to the ER in the past two weeks with stomach pain into the back with neuropathic symptoms. They look at your blood work which has been normal, and overall appearance and send you home. One ER physician said to me you look good… It’s been a vicious cycle for me. I’m pushing to get the help I need.
