Blanche, what I am calling neuropathy is a sort of painful numbness (how those two things can co-exist, I dont know!) in my left hand and foot. I am more "aware" of them and feel the need to flex and rub my hand for relief. Maybe what arthritis feels like. (Perhaps it is arthritis being aggrivated)....A deep discomfort. My foot feels pins and needles on the sole and toes. Transient. It seems to be helped by the Glutamine mixture. Worse on days right after treatment (I am taking TCH) or when I get fatiqued.
