I just wanted to put his out there. I've learned of a new prescription vitamin called Metanx - it is given to diabetics who also get neuropathy. It is B6, B12 and folic acid. I asked my onc. about it, he researched it and gave it to me. It has really helped with my neuropathy in my hands and feet. I've gone from slowly come down the steps to my old self of runny up and down the steps again. If I'm off it for 2 wks., the neuropathy comes back. So I know it's the Metanx. Don't know why doctors of diabetic haven't shared this with oncs. ??? Anyway, ask your oncs. It really works. Good luck ladies.
