My oncologist recommended 30 gms of glutamine a day. It is a powdered amino acid dietary supplement that can be purchsed at health food stores. You mix it in beverages. Ask your doc about it.
I was also on Neurontin for other issues (have recently come off)
My neuropathy symptoms would be worse towards the end of a day or when particularly tired. Still have some. But it is less all the time.
Keep the faith
