So do you get those on Amazon and lug a cooler to your chemo appointments and put the gloves and feet things on before they start chemo? I also can’t drive any longer to get to extra appointments like acupuncture. If I could get to one. What do you do google acupuncturists that can work to prevent neuropathy? I live in a tiny town so I doubt there’d be anyone reliable but maybe I could learn how to use Uber or something if we even have it here

I believe I saw the gloves and feet things on Amazon & yes, the lady who had them brought them in a cooler. She could get the feet and one hand on easily but needed help getting the 2nd glove/mitt secured. I found the Acupuncturist through the VA clinic community referral in our small town. We do have to go 45 miles to Savannah for my treatments. (I started 2x a week and now going 1x a week due to fatigue.) I have googled acupuncturist close to me and would have tried the closer one if the phone ever took a message or a person answered. I would just ask if they had experience with chemo induced neuropathy. The doctor I see has worked with neuropathy patients. It is worth a try. Some say it works & others say it did not help.
