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 underwent radiation therapy three times during the period of my conventional myeloma therapy from my original diagnosis through October of 1997. The first radiation series was to the area of my fifth cervical vertebra. The next radiation therapy was to my iliac crest area and nine months later, a radiation series to my sacrum or tailbone. No discussion of the possibility of nerve damage ever took place. I began to notice my legs weakening in 98 and 99 and went to a neurologist for some explanation of what might be happening to my legs. He told me that I had peripheral neuropathy.
