Hi @FeR big virtual hugs ❤️ for the worries, this is understandable and shows up in us in so many different ways.
i am so sorry to know your neuropathy has really affected your sleep and day to day life.
We all experience the treatment differently, I hope you have signs of improvement soon.
In my case, after my oncologist reduced the dose, the redness and inflammation in my feet and hands gradually resolved by about treatment 4. I did try really hard to keep my weight stable because I lost about 4-5 kg in the first three weeks and I believe the doses are calculated against weight amongst other things.
I continue to have neuropathy but found the oncology exercise program helped me with my foot balance, and since finishing treatment, the night pain in my feet really dropped back once I started regular yoga. I don’t know why but the pain no longer keeps me from falling asleep as it once did. Yay!🥳
I was offered Lyrica for the foot pain but didn’t try it in the end. I still have some limitations on how much walking I can get under my belt each day without feeling pain later but the interesting thing is, for me every morning is new and I don’t have pain and my feet are good to go: another yay!

A friend of mine who had developed neuropathy like symptoms after her chemo completed tells me she no longer has it (3 years on) so that’s a positive.
