I have CIPN and have hands and feet mainly effected. I am no medication at present time. I tried Cymbalta and Gabapentin with no results as I have extreme numbness. I go to PT and Ot and have found some relief

Welcome @pat2628, I'm glad to hear you have found some relief from your CIPN through PT and OT. The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has a webinar on the condition that you might find helpful.

You might also find the following discussion helpful:

I only have the numbness and some minor tingling with my neuropathy (not chemo related). I was first given gabapentin but stopped taking it after a week or so because it doesn't do anything for numbness which I found out after my doctor consulted with the rest of my Mayo care team. Can you share a little more about your physical/occupational therapy you had that provided some relief?
