Beginnings of Neuropathy - Tuesday, September 8, 2009

In the middle of the night, I awakened and went to the bathroom. I noticed that the tips of my fingers felt painful as though they were swollen and yet they were not. It hurt to use them. I wondered about it as I went back to bed. Fortunately, I was going to the naturopath that morning and could speak with her about it. I told her about the chemical burns and the finger pain. She explained that although the two drugs I am on, Taxotere and Cytoxan, do not cause nerve damage, she was concerned that this might be the beginnings of it. So she prescribed two supplements and aloe vera for the chemical burns. After about 24 hours, the nerve pain began to subside. Thank God!
