I read this article in the mm acor digest this morning.

There are many mmers who suffer from chemo-induced peripheral neuropathy.  I've read about help from EMU oil, that foot bath stimulator thingamajig, exercise- some people have to rely on pain meds.

This article talks about the benefit of mentol rubbed on your feet and lower back.  My PN only results in numbness and tingling to I don't think this treatment will help me.  But someone who suffers from PN pain, especially pn from revlimid or thalidomide should try this and let us know how it works.  David

I tried weekly acupunture treatments weekly for about six months in '06 and I never felt any improvement. But I began this therapy 11 years after the VAD therapy that caused my pn. The article linked below indicates that accupunter may help pn but I 'm wondering if one needs to begin therapy relatively quickly. David
