I Had Peripheral Neuropathy Many Years Before Being Diagnosed With Multiple Myeloma,
A MyMyelomaTeam Member asked a question 💭

However, it has definitely became much more intense in the past 2 years. I now must use a walker as my balance is very poor. Also my fingers are numb feeling, I also get a tingling burning, itchy feelings in my hands and arms in the early morning. Any advice to relieve these feelings would be appreciated.
Wish a great day for all of you.
