I was told to keep my hands and feet well moisturized. The doc gave me a sample of udder Cream. I use it all day long.
On chemo, I've gotten the neuropathy - that tingly/numb feeling; but I've recently started to get the hand foot syndrome. It feel different. It's like the bottom of my feet are on fire.
I have a paraffin wax machine (like the spas have for manicures/pedicures). That really helped the neuropathy. A foot bath with cooler water helps the hand/foot thing - mineral salts help too.
