Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?
Neuropathy | Last Active: Dec 8 11:43am | Replies (3052)Comment receiving replies
Hello @allisonsnow, I have small fiber peripheral neuropathy with numbness but no pain. I used to often get bad leg cramps because I wasn't drinking enough water and keeping hydrated. Dehydration is one of the things that can cause muscle cramps.

There is also a discussion in the Cancer Group - "Does anyone have a treatment for Neuropathy due to chemo" that you might want to read through here:

Are you finished chemo now?
I’m also tagging @martid @jerrybecker @philippe who have also talked about managing chemo-related neuropathy here on Connect. I hope they will share their thoughts and experiences with you.

Sorry to hear the chemo didn't work. Hopefully they can come up with a new treatment plan when you have your consult.
@allisonsnow Hello Allison
I am sorry to hear of the new nodes. I pray that they will find just the right med for you. Are you a candidate for immunotherapy?

Yes I try to stay aware of being hydrated I am finished with chemo for now... don't want to sound negative but we quit it half way thru because it was not working. On top of that, my last 3 mouth scan, showed some nodes at the head of my pancreas I go back 21st-22nd for MRIs and consult. It is never just one thing is it lol
