I had to take medicine for it and need it now. Idk about acupuncture. If I ever tried it I've forgotten

Acupuncture was awesome for my neuropathy. I could walk without limping. I wish insurance would cover it. But it doesn't. So they put me on oxycoton Good luck!

I'm currently using acupuncture 2x a week for the neuropathy in my feet. I've only had 3 treatments to date(6/12/26) and at this time, I can't see a difference tho I desperately want it to help. I can update in a month or so if I can remember.

I have been getting acupuncture for my neuropathy and nausea throughout my treatments since December of 2023. I don’t know if it has helped, but I find it very relaxing and calming. I have been treated with carbo, taxol, and Elahere. They all cause neuropathy. I have numbness and tingling and some balance issues but no pain. I would hate to be without acupuncture now.

Acupuncture really helped with neuropathy in my hands but had less impact on my feet. I’m 12 years post initial treatment and had not had any recurrences until now during those years. My feet improved a little with acupuncture. This time around I plan to try icing my hands and feet during infusions to prevent worsening neuropathy. My feet still feel like they are wrapped in Saran Wrap. Not painful but just weird feeling. I’m waiting to start chemo again.
