Hi Steph,

Thanks for your reply. I have been doing chiropractic care to help with some of my pain and neuropathy issues but had not thought of physical therapy. That is something I will look into. I have used a great physical therapist in the past.

My fingers and toes certainly bother me but the neuropathy had become so bad that it was effecting my entire body - including my mouth, tongue, face and optic nerves.

I can handle the fingers and toes but the mouth and tongue numbness and tingling is what really gets to me. They have me on gabapentin which helps but the tongue numbness and tingling is always present.

I am also going to try and start taking L-glutamine - I am not sure if it will work but have heard that it might.

Glad to hear you have had some relief to your neuropathy. It sounds like you may have some permanent damage too. Hopefully we will both keep improving if we can stay off the Herceptin. I was glad to read that you had been off of it for some time.

Hugs to you!
