I had neuropathy about a year after chemo. I never would have made the association that long after if I hadn't mentioned it to another cancer survivor.

I took Benfotiamine and alpha lipoic acid for it and it was very effective. Efficacy is dose dependent, I believe, so more info if you're interested.

I read the book Sugar Crush which is all about peripheral neuropathy and was disappointed that he never mentioned chemo as I'm really curious how it could cause it much later.



I associate neuropathy with stinging, burning kind of pain rather than weakness but I believe people lose sensation too. Do you feel that or is it strictly weakness?

How 'bout B complex or particularly B 12? My feet get stingy if I don't take that regularly. (But then I'm on Metformin which depletes B12).
