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.

I saw those gloves and foot things too on Amazon. Do you happen to know if you wear them hoping it’ll prevent neuropathy from happening or do you wear them if it starts?
My chemo is the Gem/Abraxine. I’ll just be getting my 4th treatment on Monday. I keep reading about all the terrible side effects and just general horrific things that are going to happen so if I can prevent that neuropathy maybe I can save myself one of the things coming. But like I said I don’t know if I should order the supplies or if I’m just going to have it happen because it happens to everyone? Probably not explaining myself
