What did you take for relief? I misplaced my notes to my Onc and can't remember what he said. I've tried to "rough it out" thinking it would go away soon. I am now willing to give into my stubborness!
Thanks Ladies!

    Crap...
    There's something I can take for it?

    My neuropathy is kind enough to be restricted to my feet and to manifest itself as tingling. Most I have been able to do for myself is take a Night Time Tylenol and try to fall asleep before the nocturnal twitches begin. Note: my neuropathy has not kept me from having ticklish feet.

    Reminds me of my pregnancy when my daughter thought Jane Fonda style aerobics should begin about 10 PM.

    I wish I could have been more help.

    B6
    My oncologist just told me to take 50 mg. of B6, 3 times a day. I just started that yesterday, so don't know if it will work - i sure hope so! This is driving me crazy! I do take Vicodin for other pain, and that helps somewhat.

    I have really had this bad lately...
    Is it possible it even gets in your cancer boob, or am I imagining discomfort there? My husband just tells me it's the neuropathy but I say, "no I'm just worse off then they're telling me". I'm serious this whole cancer crap has me freaked out, why would my boob keep getting weird feelings in it?
