my husband has has some burning patches of skin, with some area that went numb. 6 months ago he had severe upper arm pain that went down to his hand with numbess and weakness which is radial nerve palsy. he was treated for cidp because of the burning skin and fatigue and it has helped. now he is having some tingling I. his other fingers and his right food feels weird and falls asleep easily. we are petrified of this. obviously the fear of losing the use of your hands or feet is acary . he is doing chemo but his chemo he is doing is very rare to cause neuropathy. any one have any ideas? thank you

    Although neuropathy is considered rare with the treatment your husband is having, it doesn`t mean it can't happen. I found out that neuropathy from blood tests is rare but it still happened to me because of a mistake. Still consider your husband's medication to be a possible cause. Heat treatment helps my neuropathy; maybe give that a try.

    I have ulnar nerve palsy because of a bang to my elbow years ago, but it doesn't feel as bad as the blood test injury.
