Serves me right for peeking! I've been away, and am still a bit away but to the question - Vitamin B was what my oncologist said might help. I think it did, and still take it daily but it's really hard to know, it might have been that the timing was right rather than the Vitamin B and my feet were going to get better anyway. My neuropathy is still there five years on (sorry folks!). Initially I had severe tingling/burning, my toes were really painful and I dreaded anyone standing on them in a tram as I would have simply screamed. But that improved after a couple of months. My feet are still hyper-sensitive to some surfaces and numb to others. It's no worse in winter though. I don't have any pain and my feet don't get particularly cold, but there is still a gap in feeling between the beginning of my toes and the tips and the soles are a bit odd. I get cramps in my toes more often. And I really don't trust myself running (so I don't). It doesn't wreck my life and is only occasionally annoying. Hang in there.
