Peripheral Neuropathy on Tasigna

I have been on low dose (150 mg/day) Tasigna for over 3 years.  I attempted TFR this past summer, but had to restart low dose Tasigna after just 75 days.

For about 2 years, i have experienced intermittent tingling/pins & needles sensations in my lower legs and feet, but never were they painful until this past week.  I have had deep sharp and intense pain in my big right toe, on the top of my right foot and have had more constant tingling than in the past, even some in my hands. While I haven't been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy, these symptoms are pretty classic so I'm pretty certain this is what I have.  The Tasigna circular says 1 - 10% experience this on regular dose (600 mg/day), but I am on only 25% of this.

Has anyone else experienced this and if so, what if anything did you do to treat it or otherwise mitigate it?
