I have neuropathy, there are 20 different types, most likely from chemo, CIPN, chemo induced peripheral neuropathy, but other factors are involved like underlying medical conditions making one susceptible sooner than later to neuropathy. Certain medications, like antibiotics can cause neuropathy, as well as surgery, radiation, being bed ridden, and don't know if the cause can ever really be determined. Mine was pretty bad causing paralysis of the leg, feet, toes, and took a long time to regain their use, and still have some paralysus to this date four years latet. I tried the various meds, Gabapentin, lyrica, which doesn't help much, the B vitamins, electrical stimulation to no avail. Did the tests only to show I have nerve disruption, so that was a waste. I just live with it now, 24/7, sometimes taking a pain pill to get to sleep. Certain weather like humidity, rain seems to aggravate it, and when I eat Chinese food or an occasional beer, it seems worse or is just a coincidence. I guess it's a hit or mis what therapies may work. Good luck.
