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

I too tried duloxetine. Couldn’t sleep, very tired, and nauseous all the time and then I was supposed to take 2 pills. I never made it and just quit. I have more pain now in my fingertips that hinders a lot of opening and closing things. Very heat and cold sensitive. Help?

Please talk to your doctor about this and if that doctor doesn’t take you seriously talk to your primary care doctor or ask for a referral to a neurologist. This is a serious thing and as you are losing your “drug of choice” it is maybe more serious for you.
If you aren’t getting the rest you need during chemo, that is not really helpful either.
May I ask what you are taking chemo for and what drugs you are receiving?

I’m only two treatments out of 6 scheduled in, and the pain is off the charts. It’s interrupting my sleep, no its stopping sleep!! Walking has always been a vice, my drug of choice, so now there’s some depression sneaking in without the walks as well! Not sure what all I’m investing in here for a future today. Great full for input here, not always taking the best notes though.

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.
