    Perhaps Neurontin. . . see a neurologist to find out what can be done. . . if you take too much B6 can cause the same problem as too little B6. . . . ie nerve damage

    Sorry. . I knew someone who got that from chemo. . . I don’t think it is a frequent side effect. . but it is a painful one.

    Neurontin
    Your doctor must prescribe it.

    Unfortuantely this is the side effects usually of Velcade or thalidomide or something similar. Take tons of b6 and all the b vitamins as it is a beast to get rid of . Try detoxifying your liver with coffee enemas to get rid of the side effects of the chemo sooner. Look up body detoxification as this helps. Time is the best one but you can try and hurry it along.

    i have the same thing mine is in my feet and going up my legs. i have been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy. I’m not a diabetic. they re thinking mine came from when they removed my right lung i had lung cancer. i have been treated going on 3 yrs now. and it is getting worse . I’m taking 7 20 mg Oxycontin’s a day. this is the only thing so far that has given me any kind of relief. they tried me on lyrica and pamelor but i refuse to take it. pamelor is dangerous do to the fact it can cause heart attacks strokes cause you to fall asleep anytime of the day. even while you re driving. the lyrica just didn’t do any good at all. have you tried going to a pain clinic .
