Hi Maria
I have had multiple neurotoxic therapies and have had issues with neuropathy. I have been able to control it with the following:
1. 50 mg of B6 once a day
2. 5 mg of glutamine 3 times per day
3. accupuncture.
Accupuncture has helped me tremendously. I had never done it before but got relief after only two treatments. I continue to go back to my accupuncturist when my neuropathy bothers me. The B6 and glutamine are supplements you can find anywhere and easy to take. I would try these easier paths before considering something as like neurontin (which has its own set of side effects).
