To: Thank You Rush

Ive had neuropathy in hands for about 10 uears now- due to chemo. It hasnt gotten any worse, but did get worse in the feet. Ive tried all the suggestions for it like alpha lipoic acid, bentfotiamine, etc- nothing helps unfortunatdky.

When it started in feet, about a year before i got the chemo, it first felt like 1000 tiny bees stinging the feet, the. It progressed to tingling, then to numbness after the chemo- i suppoxe it was gwtting there before the chemo, but it got sped up by it. Never had it in hands though till during the chemo.

No fun thats for sure.

I had to have an arm numbed to remove tumor once, doc gave me choice, genersl or local anesthesia- i chose the local- long story short- lost the use of the arm for a few days. Couldnt use it at all- it was the weirdest and most helpless feeling it wasź-

The fella in town is going through hell id imsgine with loss of both arms-

Lofe can throw some real stinkers at us sometimes.
