OK...so I am very happy to report that my PN is definitely gone - adios NON-AMIGO! My PN lasted 9 months in total - after dose dense chemo - 4 rounds of Paclitaxel (which caused the PN)
Treatment: I took Mega B vitamins, Alpha Lipoic Acid, kept them warm during winter. Covered at all times due to lack of sensation and probable stubbing of toes etc. Bought myself a foot spa with magnesium salts, went to reflexology fortnightly and employed friends and family to rub my feet wherever possible.
Importantly, I informed my oncologist after round 2 of Paclitaxel that pins and needles had commenced. My last chemo was reduced by 50ml - as a precaution against permanent PN.
Hope this info helps others suffering from PN. Hang in there. x
