Hi Bev,
I did accupuncture throughout my Folfox treatments and the neuropathy was held in check. My accupuncturist said that neuropathy is something that accupuncture can help with. I also felt that accupunture helped with all of my side effects of chemo. It also helped boost my immune system and blood counts.
I really can't say enough postive things about accupunture. I went every other week up to treatment 9, and then started going weekly.
I live in the Denver metro area if anyone wants the name of my fabulous accupuncturist.
Best wishes,

Hi Bev-
Jim attempted acupuncture for nausea, and it didn't really work out for him. BUT, I've heard that it's great for just about everything, including the neuropathy.
Also, I think they are using light therapy (infrared) for neuropathy. That might be something to check out, too.
Good luck!

Hi Bev, GREAT question. I haven't used it, but I did use Vit B6 during chemo and Alpha Lipoic Acid after...
You will find a lot of help on diabetes sites...there seems to be a lot of info there sine it is a problem for those suffering.
Anyway, not sure if you will be looking this far back to read this message, but I hope you are finding some good info. Allt he best - Maura0
