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

It is unbearable and a Vaccine did it to me. I didn't any of that until I took that Vaccine and I'll never take another one again. I always took vaccines until 2019 when that happened to me. No more, no flu shots, no nothing. I don't trust them.

An 83 year ld friend of mine with peripheralneuropathy and shoulder pain started using CBD drops recently and his pain is much improved.

I’m so sorry to hear about your condition. It sounds unbearable. My PN is just my feet and finger tips. It’s not painful but makes me crazy with the pins and needles. Every Dr I have asked has told me they don’t know how to fix it. Until they do, I’ll focus on the good things in my life.

I was diagnosed in 2019 with peripheral neuropathy and in 2023 it is now polyneuropathy demyelinating and so far no one has referred me to a doctor for treatment and the pain is just been getting worse since 2019 and I tried all kinds of things to fix myself since the neurologist only prescribed cream which did nothing. I'm very upset that I can't get help and have to live with this pain especially at night.

Thank you for the link. The information was intriguing. Still, the words could and potential. The study was not done on humans. The clinical trial I mentioned involves a lot of monitoring with blood work, skin biopsies, and ultrasounds keeping a close eye on the possibility of cancer reoccurring. Participants are screened carefully, and must be cancer free. Again, I'm not advocating for or against. I don't regret participating in the trial, and would do it again.

This one only one of many things published about the risk of cancer with NR. If you do a google search for nicotinamide riboside and cancer risks you will find them.
This is one of the ones I read. (I didn’t save the link)

Do you have the link to this study? I note the word "may" increase the risk rather than "does". That implies conjecture rather than statistics.

This was published last year. May be trading one cancer for another?
‘ The dietary supplement nicotinamide riboside (NR) may increase the risk of developing a specific type of breast cancer and subsequent metastasis to the brain, according to a study from the University of Missouri (MU). The study authors noted this finding is in contrast to prior research linking the supplement to benefits related to cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurological health.’

I discussed that in a prior post. The trial has not been completed as of yet as they are still recruiting volunteers. They are testing the supplement niagen which I believe is nicotinamide riboside. I myself did not see significant improvement, but I don't know if I received the supplement or the placebo. Two different oncologists told me at the time that they had other patients who were seeing good results. I just recently had to replace my oncologist who moved out of the area, and decided to go back to one of the oncologists involved in the trial even though she practices 50 miles away. We did not discuss the trial, but before I left, she suggested I try niagen. I did not question her further as I didn't want to ask questions she might not be allowed to answer with the trial ongoing. It's a double blind trial which means the doctors don't know who is getting the placebo. My best guess is that the doctor and I both think I was getting the placebo. Here's a link to the trial information.

I finished chemo last May and the neuropathy my mouth has resolved, but I still have it in my fingers and feet. The doctors I talk to say there is no cure. It should resolve on its own but can take a long time. Nerves grow back very slowly.
