" I am sorry but I do not know if it goes away for anyone. My friend has it mostly in her fingers. For HER it has not gone away but she is learning to get "used" to it and try to ignore it. Mind over matter.Meditation really does wonders for this.and for being chronically ill. Also, use music as therapy.plus you always have this group for venting .Joanne "

" My husband has this in his legs and feet. Cocoa butter massage twice a day has helped a little. Also vitamins and amino acids are helping. We just started this "treatment" last week so it is new but his feet seem to feel better already. Also, acupuncture has helped his attitude which is also a plus. "

" I had my stem cell transplant last November of 2011. When I got out of the hospital the neuropathy was pretty bad in my feet. Now, eight months later, it hasn't gone away completely, but it has definitely gotten better. So there is hope. "
