Long term Chemo induced neuropathy
Hi. I was diagnosed with 2 types of Ovarian Cancer in 2015. After chemo I became disabled with peripheral neuropathy and my entire life as I knew it changed. Fast forward, I noticed pain and neuropathy symptoms worsening about a year ago and now I have pain, burning, extreme muscle tightness and pain if I'm touched on my back, shoulders and arms. Clothing feels prickly, even if very soft , on my legs and feet. PT said my case was complicated and it did help to a small degree but I'm still flaring up and clothing is excruciating to wear. A nudist colony is not an option😁. Has anyone had a similar experience? The Doctors don't know what to do with me because I can't take the normal nerve pain meds. Thank you so much, feeling alone, exhausted, anxious and scared.
