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

my name is Laura Henderson and I have peripheral neuropathy. I believe mine stems from chemotherapy and radiation for cancer. My left side (my hands while driving and the outer side of my left leg) was numb. I went to a neurologist for testing and sure enough my nerves were damaged. I took gabapentin for 2 years and it was no help at all. That was in 2013. In 2017 I learned I had a left bundle branch block and had to have a pacemaker/deliberator. In 2019 I lost the use of my left kidney. Now my feet are numb and it moves to different areas in my legs. Can't sleep at night for the pain and tingling. Does anyone have any idea of what I can do for help?

I have chemo-induced peripheral neuropathy as well. I have been having wonderful success using regular manual, as well as electro-, acupuncture not only to control but to reduce my periheral neuropathy. Perhaps you might want to investigate this option.

I have neuropathy from 6 cycles of Taclitaxel for angio sarcoma. My last CT scan was clear, but the neuropothy persists , even getting worse, in my hands and fingers, feet and toes, and seems to be creeping up my leg as well.
I noticed a paper on japanese Goshajinkigan has anyone tried this?

It works wonderfully! I would be lost without it.

Hope acupuncture works for you.

Thank you for this info. Have an appointment this week to see if acupuncture will help me

I use it for mouth sores with both preventive and curative effect. Best also using a multivitamin daily to prevent the sores; not sure what in that helps, but it does!

Thanks for sharing. Acupuncture is also a wonderful way to improve circulation and energy.

I am a 75 year old male who never had peripheral neuropathy until undergoing chemotherapy. I turned to Acupuncture to treat my peripheral neuropathy and my body has been responding wonderfully to these treatments. I started acupuncture treatments mid-July 2024 and have been receiving 2 to 3 acupuncture treatments weekly since.

Perhaps, and hopefully, acupuncture treatments may be worth a try.

Has anyone mentioned L-glutamine? Memorial Sloan Kettering has an Herbs and Botanicals reference website. It will let you know of some known interactions.
