Dear @Flaneuse
Good to hear from you, but sorry to hear about your PN flare up. I started taking MegaB on the advice of an oncology nurse years ago . On the basis that it’s unlikely to do any harm, I still take it. My PN was quite severe in my feet, making walking difficult at one time. I stopped having pain quite quickly but still have odd sensations in my feet - sometimes not much, sometimes quite a bit, can’t make out any pattern. Feeling as if you are walking on foam rubber sounds quite pleasant, but it doesn’t do much for your balance! I walk a lot though and feel that it helps, just push through the jangled and confused nerve endings! You may like to investigate vitamin B further with your GP. I have also found foot massage provides short term improvement - sadly not long term but if/when we get out of lockdown, I’ll be having one of those! Best wishes.
