Re: Neuropathy-information please

Hi Ellie ~
I had Taxol like Catherine and suffered from numbness in hands, toes and feet. I didn't want to complain to my Onc. because I thought he would cut my dosage...which in hindsight is not the smartest thing to do ;-). However, I did feel much better about 6 months after I was finished with Taxol. I was very heavy into juicing and getting my vitamins through foods. I have heard that Glutamine helps a lot of people. I did take pain pills whenever it hurt to walk (usually when the weather was really cold). Now I don't notice any problems at all.
Hugs ~ Ruth
