Hi fluffyflav. Thanks for taking time to reply my post. I am sorry to hear you are having such a tough time. I was lucky in that my PN didn’t kick in until quite close to the end of my chemo. Once I came off the chemo, the PN started to reduce in intensity quite quickly, and now it’s not really a problem. It’s still there to a mild degree, but not enough to bother me most of the time. All I can really say is, I hope your consultant can keep it at a manageable level for you through your treatment, and that it starts to recede once your chemo is over.
P.S. If you do need to go down the sleeping pill route, I found that taking a whole tablet (Zopiclone, I think) left me feeling really rough the next day, but half a tablet was enough to get me off to sleep and left me feeling not too bad.
