Peripheral neuropathy

Hello,

I don't know enough about neuropathy caused after a delay but I do know, because my neuropathy caused permanent damage from chemo onwards, that there are links to vitamin deficiencies....B12, B6, zinc ......From the start I have had regular blood tests and take these on prescription daily. I see a neurologist every six months who annually tests electrically for nerve damage. My vitamin levels have improved but still remain, after 8 years of treatment, in the lower range of normal. 

It may help you if you have your blood checked. Otherwise gabapentine also helps with nerve damage. Unfortunately this drug has had to be increased to compensate for increasing numbness, pins and needles and leg cramps.

My advice would be to not ignore these symptoms and make an appointment to have the problem checked. If the conclusion is something temporary.....great ...if not , starting treatments earlier will help halt further deterioration.

I hope you get things sorted soon.

had it on chemo, still have it, it comes and goes

for me i did some crochet which helps body kinda normalise the feeling but i do have better or worse days

I find temperature sets it off more, if cold water or stuff

but if it os sudden i woukd ask about blood tests

Thank you for your reply, will give gp a call tomorrow.
