I am a year out from treatment and suffer from extreme pain and numbness in my right hand and both my feet. I took Lycria which helped, but unfortunately the side effects were worse then the neuropathy. It made my fatigue worse, caused me to be drowsy and severely constipated. I too am beginning to realize that my hearing has been effected, but I know I'm too vain to wear hearing aides at 55, so why bother getting my hearing checked. I have been advised by 2 doctors that it may take 2 years to reach maximum recovery, including my problem with having thick saliva. I just hope I'm still around to find out if they are right. I was also advised that the neuoropathy could be permenant and so I need to stop my winning and suck it up. My ENT Surgeon has a great bedside manner...lol.
