Hi Ladies,

It has been a while since I have visited. I went to my podiatrist today with some issues with my toe nail and he and I talked about my neuropathy that I developed during chemo in my feet and ankles. He mentioned that I might want to try the drug Metanx to see if it would help with nerve damage. This is prescription drug used in diabetic patients who have neuropathy in their feet and legs. It has been 2 years since I was on chemo and the neuropathy is somewhat better than 2 years ago. I would like to know what results anyone who has taken this drug has had. I don't have pain with my neuropathy just numbness.

Hi Jackie,
I haven't had this drug, but will be interested in any responses also as I still have neuropathy from previous drugs and am now developing new symptoms from new drugs!
