<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I have had chemotherapy taxol. I developed sensitivity in the fingers and feet numbness. My oncologist stopped the chemo 3 weeks ago. I am scheduled to see a neurologist next Monday. Have I waited too late to enhance reversal od the nerve damage?  <response>: Hi, Generally, if the medication causing these PARESTHESIA tingling and NUMBNESS neuropathy is stopped fairly soon after symptoms begin then, there is a regression of symptoms. However, theres no good way to PREDICT before a person receives the treatment whether these symptoms may present or if they do what their severity or longevity may be. In some cases, symptoms do turn out to be prolonged and even permanent. What you can ask your doctor to also do aside from stopping the medication is to check you metabolically for several things. Such as Vitamin B12, folate, TSH, FT4, and vitamin D since if these are low in levels they will exacerbate symptoms of neuropathy induced by other agents and make it difficult to reverse. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
