Grace,

I had (still have some - it has improved with time) the same condition in my
toes and bottom of feet by the top (ball of the foot). It does decrease and
takes time 6-9 months. Discussed this with Dr. Slamon and he said it is from
the TC....I did not get this reaction until after I completed the TC treatment
of six...I wonder even though you had two treatments you also did not have
this reaction until you stopped. That is interesting I am curious if our bodies
react some way afer the treatment? In any event I was in a high degree of
discomfort (I have a high pain tolerance) I saw a nerve specialist in NY
who recommended Cymbalta which helped 90%...there are past articles
on this also helps with joint and muscle pain from AI. There was a study
on patients with diabetes (neuopathy is common among those patients)
and Cymbalta was found to give relief - it does work since the nerve
specialist I saw started me on a low dose twice a day. Within ten min.
of takin the med. my toes felt normal. These days when I wake up they
are not as numb I would have to say I have about 50% improvement.
I am hoping that by the end of summer to be back to normal.
Hope this helps.

Kind Regards,
Jean
