How To Recover From Peripheral Neuropathy?

I am suffering from peripheral neuropathy caused by chemotherapy for treatment of multiple myeloma. I have quit taking the prescribed drugs because of the destructive effects on my body...reduced strength, almost no endurance, limiting mobility. Quality of life is more important than dealing with diagnosis. oncologist said, initially, that he was 99% certain I was MGUS , not full-blown multiple myeloma. Free light chain blood test changed his mind. what can I do to cleanse my body, recover from the neurophathy caused by 2 months chemo?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I would explain that neuropathy is not always reversible. But, I would recommend taking some supplements containing alpha lipoic acid, coupled with vitamin B complex and performing a lot of physiotherapy. If you have numbness, burning sensation or pain, I would recommend taking Pregabalin or Gabapentin.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
