I have gotten used to my numb but sensitive feet! One guy described it as feeling like your feet are glued to cardboard - so true! I just keep slippers or shoes on all of the time unless I am in bed. UGGs are my go-to boots and shoes - love the sheepskin on my neuropathy feet! 🥰

Biofreeze helps temporarily with my feet numbness/neuropathy. Hydrocodone 7.5 MG helps some also. I haven't found anything that knocks it out completely

Check FMH page for kinesiology tape application and I use moisturizer lotion on my feet . Medication and vitamins did not work for me, but they may for you. Check with your healthcare team for ideas as they often had some useful tips and suggestions.

I take b complex and alpha lipoic acid. You will have to check with your doctor. You can't take alpha lipoic acid with Velcade and drugs in that class. It counteracts them. 🥰
