I have talked to quite a few people in regarding chemotherapy and peripheral neuropathy. There are anecdotal evidences that a good portion of people went through chemo have developed peripheral neurpoathy of some shape or form. It is a very good thing that the cancer's gone. It will be even better if the cancer treatment does not come with the painful neuropathy. Is anyone out there knows any specific information in this regard? Such as, the prevalence? the cause? any preventive measures?

Alternative to Metanx
Metanx is prescription B-vitamin supplement. Some people with Peripheral Neuropathy take it. It helps them to manage the pain in their foot sole. It is expensive and insurance companies will not pay for it. Does anyone know if there were an over the counter product that could have the same, or similar, effects as Metanx?
Where do 20 million PNers communicate?
According to the US congress, there are 20 million peripheral neuropathy suffers in the US along. Hopefully, this blog will add a communication channel for all concerned parties. Chip in if you have something to say.
