Re: Neuropathy

Greetings all,
I finished Taxol in September '09 and still have significant neuropathy in my in my fingers and feet/toes (feels like pin and needles 24/7, and only slightly better -- I can now get on shoes, and no, they are no nearly as stylish as I wore before, but beat the flip flops I lived while I was on taxol. I have not tried any of the medication yet, preferring to adjust to a new normal, and see if I can cope with natural remedies. I have tried tonic water, and vitamin B but not much effect. I would like to try the apple cider soak, but don't know the details (how frequently; amount of vinegar to be added to water). If anyone knows this please let me know.

Thanks.

Estelle
