Re: Supplements for neuropathy

I took/take glutamine powder mixed with cold water (+Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar is just my added touch) while I was on Halaven + Herceptin.
Just 1 tbsp on the day before/day of/day after my infusion, then up to 2 tbsp on the other days.
It doesn't go down very easily bc the powder never seems to completely dissolve in the water, but it seems to be helping.
While I was on Halaven, the neuropathy got to be a real nuisance, but now that I've been off for ~4wks, it seems to be resolving.
I'm able to type without looking at the key board, can distinguish what I'm feeling in my pockets/purse without having to look, and both my feet hands don't feel so tingly and cold all the time.
Good luck with your treatment &
Keep the Faith~
