linroth - The neuropathy will ordinarily begin DURING tx and then linger. Mine, during tx, was profound. I was unable to pick up a coin from a table top, often couldn't hold on to pieces of paper unless I clamped them between my hands, couldn't work a button into a button hole, etc. Injuries to toes went un-noticed until the blood or the bruise was visible. Now, I am able to type and write just fine. My feet are still a bit numb. If you don't have the symptoms now, you are unlikely to develop them later. Be strong, Tom J
