Chemotherapy-induced neuropathy: What helps get rid of it?

That sounds awful. I stopped driving for that very reason. I’m so blessed to have such a large support group to take me to my appointments and such.

The day I finally quit driving I was out on the highway driving 8 miles to my daughter's house. Suddenly, I couldn't feel the brake. I couldn't pull over to the side because I didn't know if I could stop. I went very slowly on and on, with everyone honking at old lady me for being so slow. I was so scared. I finally got to my daughter's house and coasted to a stop on her long driveway. I had someone drive me home in y car later that day and I never tried to drive again

Cuando empecé a ser consciente de mi problema,aunque no sabía el nombre de mi dolencia,me dí cuenta que no dominaría la presión del pie sobre el acelerador ni el pedal de freno .No era visible mi problema para los demás.Inclusive,por mi edad,tenía que comenzar a renovar mi licencia de conducir,cada 5 años,,Me hicieron el control de vista,pero solo preguntas sobre mi estado neurológico.Por supuesto que habia dejado de conducir cuando me dí cuenta que algo había cambiado en mi manejo en el andar .Y repito que soy agradecida por no tener dolor.
Y como dijo algún poeta," vida ,nada me debes ,vida estamos en paz.

I'm doing fine otherwise. I thought of getting a hand brake but I 'm on a steep, windy road out of my property. Being 83 , I'm hesitant to start anything new like using a hand brake. My son helps me get to most places like shopping and the airport. My health insurance takes me to doctor appointments. Thank you for the nice compliment. I'm a former RN. I guess the old learned memories don't want to quit! If you can still drive, maybe you will continue to be able to do so. My driving ability ended before chemo was done.

My neighbor had a hand brake installed in his car at a local dealership for this very reason.
I am really sorry to hear that you are having continued struggles. You have always been so encouraging to other members.
I also have neuropathy from chemo, but at least for now, I am still able to drive 🤞.
How are you doing otherwise?

My main problem from the peripheral neuropathy is not be able to drive a car now. I can't feel the brake pedal.

Hola.Tengo neuropatía periférica,de origen desconocido. He recibido rayos por cáncer de mama diaz años antes de que la neuropatía se manifestará. No manejo totalmente los piernas y mi caminar es dificultoso ,y va en aumento,aunque no colaboró con suficientes ejercicios. Mi neuropatía se vio agravada hace casi 3 años pues una FA ( fibrilación auricular)que apareció con la manifestación de covid,me obligó a tomar medicamentos que agudizan mi neuropatía. Pero agradezco infinitamente a Dios,no tener ningún dolor. No la más mínima sensación de malestar.

Try an elliptical under the desk Pedaler . Mine has improved my balance. I really enjoy floating mindlessly while I use it watching TV. It has been said that when you reverse the action and pedal backwards it is good for the brain; using your brain in a new way. I'm 83 and got peripheral neuropathy from chemo.

I can’t stand to play Golf …. I fall over.

I live in Michigan so my acupuncturist would not be useful to you. I would ask friends and/or doctors. Some hospitals have an integrative medicine department that includes chiropractors, acupuncturists, massage therapists and classes on mediation and yoga.
