Hi Grace,
I too suffer from post chemo neuropathy in my feet (big toes especially). It happened first in 05 and seemed to dissappate after about 7 months, just in time to start another round of chemo. I do the B6 and glucosamine religiously. I finished treatment in Jan (still on Herceptin) and the neuropathy is still annoying. So yesterday I saw an accupuncturist. I figured, what the heck! She said I would know if 2 to 3 treatments if it was helping. I have to say, that last night (when it is usually the worst), my feet were not bothering me at all...they are still a little numb, but not horrible. I go again next week, so I'll keep you posted. She also said that regular massage and warm compresses might help.
