Ice Therapy for Neuropathy During Chemo SuzziPad Cold Care Pack Socks, Gloves, and Cold Cap Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- When I started cancer treatment ice therapy was recommended to help with neuropathy during chemotherapy. Neuropathy is one of the chemo side effects that can leave you with numbness in your hands and feet. I was already using SuzziPads cold socks and gloves during my chemo infusions when they reached out to me about reviewing their new chemo care pack that included a cold cap. They also extended a coupon code to use on Amazon for anyone needing the cold packs to help keep from getting neuropathy while going through treatment.
The ice really did help me- I also got a replacement set of ice packs because my infusion days were long and I needed to change the ice out halfway through my infusions.

Hi Melanie! Not everyone knows exactly what a person goes through during cancer treatment. It's a lot! Still you are able to give tips and share your journey along the way. Thank you for informing us and sharing you and your family with all of us! I'm praying for you and your full remission! Your spirit is quite awesome! Much love!❤
Thank you so much 💛
She is great at sharing information and tips❤
❤Amennn❤
My husband had hard core chemo with a platinum drug known to cause neuropathy. He used a simple, easy and cheap method to avoid neuropathy. We actually saw it on a utube channel. He froze small water bottles and held them during his infusion. He also put his bare feet/toes on the frozen bottles. He did this every time and he never had any neuropathy issues.
Hi Mel,my daughter did the cold pack for the neuropathy…I’m so sad it did not work for her🥺I’m sending prayers and blessings to you, keep the the fight up ,God has your back I believe in the power of prayers 🙏🏻🙌🏻
Of course it didn't work for her, if your hands are numb...why would you numb them even more by making them cold with ice?! Like....WHAT sense does that make?
@@solangelalebron1348 You would have know clue?We have know clue to this day!!Your about rude making such a stupid comment 🥺
@@Rena64105 Yes I do because I have had hypothermia AND neuropathy. Making an extremity cold, would be pointless and defeat the whole purpose. The ice is working against you.
@@solangelalebron1348 I understand,however my daughter was trusting in her nurse..4 years later she still in awful pain,but only in her feet legs!She had inflammatory breast cancer right side,w removal of breast and,many lymph nodes at age 39…But just so you know she had no numbness in hands nor feet until after treatment 🥲#Cancer fucking sucks especially when she has three children that have to watch their mother suffer!!!
@@Rena64105 A true statement is now 'Rude' to you people. True is NOT Rude.
Hi Melanie. I'm glad to hear the ice packs helped you, they did not for me. I already had neuropathy from the autoimmune disease I have. After chemo I have severe neuropathy in my hands and feet, all the way up to my knees. It's not pleasant, but so grateful I'm able to still get around. God bless you and I am praying for you with your upcoming surgery.
I’m sorry they didn’t help and that you are dealing with neuropathy now! My thoughts are with you that there are days where it is manageable
Dear Melanie ...
It is so kind of you to keep sharing tips for anyone else who may be struggling when you have so much to cope with .
I am such a great supporter of you as I admire your grit and determination so much. So glad I discovered your channel so I can be on your support team .
Love to you, your lovely partner and beautiful baby girl

This message is for you Melanie. I am so sorry that you are going through this. It breaks my heart that this happened during what should be the happiest time. It's not fair. We should have a cure by now. Sending prayers 🙏 to God for you.
Your channel is critical for all cancer patients. You're doing such an important service for so many people. I'm going to look @ your links, my husband has extremely painful arthritis, so i appreciate your recommendations.
You are so smart to use cold packs. Back in 2009 I had chemo and have had chemo induced neuropathy in my feet and fingertips. It is a reminder everyday that I had cancer and chemo. Wishing you all the best!
Melanie, you are so brave and I believe that you will beat this terrible beast. God Bless You and your family! You are amazing!💕🙏🏻🤗
Melanie, Keeping you and your family in my prayers. 🙏
That so thoughtful of you Melanie to go in-depth on Cold Therapy Wraps for hands, feet and head during Chemo and other medicinal therapy. You’re looking great sweetie. You continue to be in my Prayers and thoughts.
Great share for people who need it. So sorry you have to learn these things. Cancer Sucks! Hugs to you 💕
Will be thinking of you extra on Thursday. Keeping you always in my thoughts and prayers. Happy to hear the ice packs are working for you. Thanks for sharing as you are so helping others. Take a warm blanket to keep you warm from all the ice
Glad it helps your neuropathy. Sending love and prayers 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
It is so kind of you to share your tips and tricks for cancer treatment. I work in a medical related field and will happily share your videos with those going thru similar treatments. You are in my prayers daily. ❤
Bless your heart you’re the best Melanie you’re so helpful to others ❤❤❤❤
Keep up the good fight against Cancer. As a CRC survivor - I have found that if you research and take a pragmatic approach to your treatment it certainly helps in the journey. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Gosh i been praying for you since i seen your first video. I pray they get all the cancer out when they do your surgery. You have the cutest baby. You got this sweet lady.
You are truly one of the sweetest people I have ever had the pleasure to follow. I do wish you did not have to go through all of this. You are such a brave, open, honest lady. I am praying so hard for you to get through all of this and to be completely healed, and quickly, so that you can continue to be the awesome mom you are. ❤🙏
You are incredible, I’m so sorry especially since you have a baby I will pray for you ..thanks for the tutorial it will help many many people who must walk this same path ..Melanie have hope , have faith
Ice pads are the best! Much love and prayers.
Sending you love & prayers from my family in Scotland. We are watching and supporting your journey Mel and wishing you every happiness xx
Mel someday all of these informative videos will educate many. Soo proud of you
The Lord will never leave you or forsake you. He’s with you through all of this. Sending prayers for peace and healing. ❤️
You are in my daily prayers. You bring hope to many people in ways that you don't even know. ❤❤
Hi Mel, this is Cheryl again, just reminding you it's me and not my husband Lester bc his name is what pops up.
All I can say is...WHAT A STRONG WOMAN YOU ARE.!!
I thought I was strong but my goodness, you blow me out of the park.
Think of you ALL the time.
GOD BLESS and I hope the cold packs work for you and your mom. I have rheumatoid arthritis and they help my fingers but not my feet.
Love you Mel❤❤❤❤
Hello Mélanie i live in France. Im praying for you every day. For a miracle 🙏
I’m so glad you just suggested suzzipads for arthritis because I have rheumatoid and I could use them on my hands and Morton’s neuroma on my feet so this video is a blessing already Mel thank you
I’m glad it was helpful and hope it helps with your arthritis!
From the bottom of my heart thank you for this video. I woke up at 2am this morning and was somehow guided to this video by ANGELS because today is my mother's first infusion and I am her caregiver and I had packed her Suzzipads IN THE FREEZER. The socks and gloves. Watching this vid - I was able to run downstairs and pull them out and put them in front of the fan and I am praying they will dry by the time I take her in. THANK YOU. ♥ You are a beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful soul and I am so grateful I found this video. THANK YOU AND I AM SENDING YOU SO MUCH LOVES AND HUGS - THANK YOU ♥♥♥♥♥
Oh my goodness! what timing! So glad that worked out and pray that they dry. Maybe you could also stick them in the dryer? I will be thinking about both you and your mother as she starts her treatment. Not sure what chemo she will be doing, but if it's the same one as mine have her eat ice chips (like as much as she can throughout the day) and do a baking soda and salt water rinse a couple times a day. That was the best thing to help the mouth sores.
Bless your heart,sending you lots of love, lots of hugs and healing prayers 🥰💕🙏🏻 xx
Melanie, I just found you. Saw Kneady homesteaders video about your diagnoses. Sending you hugs and prayers for a speedy recovery. God has a plan for your life. Give all your worries to Him.
Dearest Melanie. I have been thinking of you so much (& praying even though it’s not usually my thing). Sending love & strength xxx
Thank you so much! It means a lot
You are an inspiration to many people, sending you lots of love & hugs from the UK 💜💜💜
Thank you so much for the video! These cold therapy socks and gloves seem really helpful.
Thank you for this video! You are such an inspiration and you have given me motivation to also try the Suzi Pad when I continue my next four rounds of chemo! Thank you again for this thoughtful and thorough review!
I did the ice mittens and ice socks too. Plus sucked on ice chips. - Diana
I wrapped my hands and feet in ice packs in 2019 for pactitaxol. I was so afraid that something would prevent me from getting in every dose of chemo because I am so high risk. The only thing I got was a tingle in the tip of one finger which settled down after a few months.
None of the nurses were particularly supportive of me carrying in my esky of ice and packs - don’t think they believed it would work. But, I got through all my treatments without any problems.
Hope you continue to go well xx
I’m so surprised your nurses weren’t open to it. My nurses were ones to recommend things like ice help. Sorry to hear they didn’t help encourage it, but so glad you did it and that it helped!!
Hey Melanie’ great demonstration and explanation of everything! Thoughts of healing for you ❤
I'm amazed by you continuing to educate us along with sharing your cancer journey ❤❤❤❤
I'm asking God for a specific prayer to wipe this monster out of your body. Doctors have to back away and claim...your cancer disappeared ❤
Also, if I want to send you some Texas style goodies, do you have a shipping address I can use? God bless ❤
Sending prayers for all needs to be met
Great information and thank you so much for sharing your experience. This has been so helpful and so appreciated. May God Bless you and keep you during your treatment and recovery.
sleeping on silk pillow cases really helps when losing or lost your hair...real silk! xxx
Wow those products sound like an awesome thing to have for those who are going through chemo. I'm so glad you found them and got relief using them! I was impressed by the port shirt!! I had never heard of that. That too is another needed thing for those getting the infusions. Melanie it's so good to see you and hear you sharing things that have helped you so that in turn will help others. You're still in my prayers 🙏. Sending you much love and positive thoughts your way. Prayers & Wishes Lisa Hampton 🙂
Great info Ty! God bless you Melanie!
Melanie: Your vlogs have been appearing in my streams. I am praying for you. ❤🙏
Thank you for this video 🙏🏻♥️
This was so helpful. No one explains all this.
Thank you
Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤
God bless you.
That is super cool of the company to offer a discount code for your subscribers! I unfortunately couldn’t stick to cold therapy because it was so uncomfortable to the point of painful no matter what we try-I still try sometimes to use them.
Hi, your an inspiration to me..
Best health and recovery in ‘2024’
If you freeze alcohol in freezer bags it lasts long. Makes great ice packs
Much love and prayers 🙏🏼💕
All the best to you and much love from Texas. ❤️😊🙏🏻
Prayers always ❤
Thanks for reching out and sharing information that might help others. You are a trooper! Continuing to hold you in my prayers.
I’m pretty sure these worked for me. I just finished 4 rounds of cisplatin and I haven’t had any neuropathy yet. The worst part about them was not being able to do anything with my hands while wearing the mitts.
Glad they helped! But yeah, feels kind of claustrophobic not able to use your hands
Fantastic product. You'll have to let us know what your mom thinks of them for arthritis. I too have osteoarthritis in my fingers and hadn't thought of cold on them, only warm. Hugs from Cupertino, California
Thank U so much for sharing! I've never seen before.. Will be nice to have.. Prayers! Prayers for U,your family, and the
Dr's!!
Thank you for sharing... it is important info...
Daily prayers continue for you you 🙏🙏🙏🥰
You are such a sweetie .Wishing nothing but the best ❤💜
Wow how awesome is this....wonderful products.....you look so beautiful and happy today....God bless you fb friend....xxx❤
Good to hear that this helped you!👍👍👍❤️
Thanks for the info. I have bad neuropathy and I will order this
Thank you for sharing! My brother is starting chemo soon and I might have to buy this for him.
You’re welcome, yes see if his chemo combo has neuropathy as side effects and if so I definitely recommend them. Your brother and your family will be in my thoughts.
Never a dull moment geez
You are such a sweet sweet lady! Love the ice pack information. Great review ❤
These are awesome!!!!!!
I’m wondering if you’re freezing the whole while you have these on ? I am praying for you and your family. You’ve got this!
Thank you
You are brave ❤
Sending you hugs and good vibes, Melanie! Do you have a PO Box?
I'm stage 5ckd i need a kidney transplant and i have really really bad neuropathy in my feet and legs i take lyrica for it i hate them pills I'm going to look into the ice packs for my feet or if they are already to far gone. I'm scared of getting amputation of my legs.
I was just wondering why they wouldn't have sufficient ice packs for each patient ? It would save you time getting ready to get there. ♥
The hospital doesn’t provide them for anyone, not with gloves like these. You can request ice packs and they will bring you the hospital ice packs but they don’t come with gloves or socks to easily hold the packs in place
@@melaniefostersnavely ♥
Question and praise.Thanks so very much for this information. How do you get the gels to last longer than 20 minutes? I can't find out anywhere.
Mine usually stayed very cold for the first 30 then cool enough until I changed them out. Always have a back up set chilling in an iced cooler. Sorry I don’t have any other tips
Hey hope u are doing well
Just a little something. ❤️
Thank you so much!! You are so sweet to continue to send support and care. We greatly appreciate the love.
I have neuropathy but can not use cold due to a complication from my RA.
Thank you. Mine ran out after an hour or so. Staff brought me ice. Cold caps didn't stay cold long. Any ideas of working around that? I hope your recovery are going well. Best wises, Lynne
For this particular cold cap no, other than to get a second set. You could wrap it in a towel to keep it from getting exposed to the warmth too quickly
Do you have a video talking about when you were first diagnosed?

Hello Melanie, thank you very much for sharing. My husband starts chemo tomorrow. The suzzi pads say use them for 30 minutes. You say you used them the entire time of your treatment. Is that correct? Should he keep them on the entire time of the infusion?
Do you know what chemo combo he is getting? Yes, leave them on the entire time he is getting the chemo that causes neuropathy. I had a combo of three chemos and it was my first one that I would need to wear them for. It was like two hours. I would wear the first set until they got warm, take maybe a 5 minute break and then put the new pack in for the remainder of the time.
@melaniefostersnavely no, I do not know the name of the meds. However, they told him to stay away from cold with one of them meds because it could cause muscle spasms. Thank you very much for your reply. Your channel is a blessing 🙌
❤
I didn't see a link to the bag you used to carry all the suzzi cold assesories in did I miss it somehow?
No sorry, I didn’t link it because I couldn’t find the link. It was something I had on hand from years ago. But it was a tall drink cooler bag. That had a pocket on the front. I will look and see if I can find something similar.
❤❤❤
Where do you get a port shirt??
I got mine on Amazon. amzn.to/3xzDR5E This is the one I got.
Where did you get your insulated bag and how large is it. I think I will need to shop online to get something. Thanks so much.
It was an old one I had at the house. I’m not sure where I got it. I actually think it’s an insulated wine tote, made to fit like 4 bottles of wine.
@@melaniefostersnavely
Thank you so much for the input and for the quick reply. Also thank you for your video. You are amazing. Keep it up and hug that darling baby! What a sweetie.
I need to travel to Mexico in 3 days and I bought this gloves for my mom, she's having her second chemo next week, anyone knows if I can travel with those gel pack in my carry on????
Gel ice packs are allowed in carry-on bags.
Do you use them throughout the 7 hours?
Only the two-three hours that’s I’m on the chemo. The rest of the 7 hours is time where they do premeds and fluids
How do you manage to not get sick my wearing all of these cold therapy stuff? I figured if i tried this i would get sick and then that would ruin the chemo right?
I make sure to keep a warm blanket on me so that the rest of me is cozy. And getting sick doesn't effect the chemo. It's just a yucky side effect of it. I nver got sick on actual infusion days because they pump you full of premeds first that help you to not get sick. I didn't start feeling nausea until 3 days after treatment.
@@melaniefostersnavely thank you, just to confirm, you start wearing the cold therapy stuff before the infusion starts correct? How many minutes before the infusion starts do you start to wear the cold therapy items?
How is this supposed to work with neuropathy? I have it from one of my medical conditions. My neuropathy is hyper sensitive to cold.
It’s more so to prevent neuropathy, by freezing your hands and feet it restricts blood flow so the chemo doesn’t impact your hands and feet as much as it would without the cold. Once the neuropathy is there it doesn’t effect it much but yes could make you more sensitive to the cold. The two fingers that got effected by me not using the gloves still have issues and don’t like the cold either
🙏🌹🙏
May I ask how long one pack of ice pack last during infusion?
I used one pack for 30 minutes or so and then switched out for a new one.
@@melaniefostersnavely So one pack won’t last an hour ? I think my mom’s infusion will be 2 hours. Will the gloves one last longer ?
I don’t know off the veracity of this. I did read that cold pads on the head could result in some cancer cells not being killed due to the lower blood flow during the therapy. I hope that isn’t true. How do you find using the cold gloves and socks? Maybe check with your oncologist?
My oncologist recommended, I think if I had a brain tumor maybe they would have recommended otherwise but as that wasn’t an impacted area I think it was ok.
Hi Melanie! I can't use your code :C Please can you confirm is working?
It should be working still, it’s good for a year from what they had told me. It may not apply until checkout though; so it night not show up until you get to the very last step.
Are you based in Canada? The code can work for US buyers.
🙏🙏❤
💜🙏💜🙏💜🙏
I am sorry to say the cold therapy did not work on my hands and feet I have neuropathy in both feet and one hand
I’m so sorry to hear that!!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤❤
😢all diseases have their roots in inflammation. Please subscribe to Dr Berg and look up his vids on cancer and inflammation. God bless
Why did u put the cold cap on the head when u lost your hair. Couldnt hear when u where explaining it.
It still helps with scalp sensitivity and headaches, and I was trying to keep my eyebrows from falling out.
@@melaniefostersnavely 🙏🏻Sweet Melanie please don't pay any mind to this clearly insensitive Blob or Bob person.
Praying for a healing for her amen try cannabis oil and THC and worm medicine for animals to help kill cancer amen
