Peripheral Neuropathy ????

I suspect that I have peripheral neuropathy from the Cytoxan and or Taxotere--

Most my symptoms seem to be fading away with just a few popping up now and again--

However the last month, I started to notice that I am dropping things-like in the kitchen--AND I am having trouble opening jars--not just one or two--but almost every jar---it is crazy--I have a grip on it and turn it, but it doesnt open--I feel like I am in a bad movie---

Anyone else have this or know if it is related to the Peripheral Neuropathy?

Thanks and Good Night!!!
