Neuropathy

Hi Peggy123 Peripheral Neuropathy is indeed very challenging. I had to deal with it during my main 2 years treatment and it took a further year to clear up.

Based on my long experience there was no easy fix. In some circumstances the drugs that cause the PN can be reduced…….. but for me the drugs could not be reduced as my treatment was being used as a stepping stone to allow me to go on to have more demanding treatment.

If you are still in treatment let’s look for things to calm down…… and make sure that you are drinking lots as this helps flush out the chemo toxins, reduces the time the chemo is affecting the nerves and protects your kidneys.

Hey Mike 

thanks for replying my nureopathy although started with my lung cancer treatment .

got worse after a slip caused spine injuries which led to discovery of osteoporosis 

for which I was given zolendronic infusion which have driven the damn thing crazy all over body nureopathy.

Oh the body throws up lots of challenges…. Back then in 2010 I found out have Thoratic & Lumber Spondylosis - Spinal Osteoarthritis so it was hard to distinguish between the PN and the Osteoarthritis.
