Paclitaxel peripheral neuropathy

Hi cruisebabe 

I have peripheral neuropathy and I think mine is going to be permanent as I have been living with it for 3 years. In some people it improves in the weeks following treatment. I keep my nails short and rarely wear anything other than trainers or walking shoes. I don’t find it painful. It just feels odd.

Have you tied medication like gabapetin 

No, I haven’t felt the need as I don’t have pain. 

Hello cruisebabe, 

I wore cold gloves and socks that I bought on Amazon so my neuropathy is limited to one foot, but, like Coddfish, I suspect mine is permanent.  Luckily I rarely experience pain so I've gone no further than treating myself to wool socks,  warm covered-in slippers and (in an effort to move those toes) I try to play with a tennis or spiky ball while eating breakfast 

Hi cruisebabe I have peripheral neuropathy in both my feet.  Had it since 2013.  Sometimes I don't get any pain and sometimes it is so bad I have to hobble around.  I was offered gabapentin but refused as I don't want to take any more pain medication (I am on tramadol).  I have lived with it for so long, I just seem to deal with it.
