Thanks for the replies your imput has been helpful. At this point the tingling in my fingers & feet is tolerable and not interfering with my normal daily activities. I also asked my nurse about this problem and she recommened the B6 once a day and the Accupuncture; if that doesn't help then try adding the glutamine - because it can be expensive. This is the same plan that Donna reccommended in her post. Next week I plan to ask my onc. about the iced booties and mitts approach that Louse has suggested. I'm not sure they offer it, but it's worth asking. Also, I will talk to my onc. again if the symptoms get worse as others have suggested. It sounds like sticking it out if it the symptoms get too painful might not be the best approach. Thanks for all of your wonderful adivise. If any one else has anything to add or any additional suggetions I would love to hear from you!
