Sonic boom has gone away. ;- )

One of my neuropathy symptoms was a 'sonic boom' in my feet when I bent my neck down. It's listed as a 'not so common' side effect of Oxi. Well, it's gone away! I 'think' the feeling in my skin on my legs between my knees and ankles is almost normal again.

Chemo ended 5 months and 3 weeks ago so looks like I might be back to normal at one year.
:- ) Thinking of Johnnybegood this a.m. and hoping she's seeing some good changes, too!

I had what you call "sonic
I had what you call "sonic boom" also & it went away last month. I have noticed that the tingling in the hands and feet have diminished a lot in the last couple of weeks. My last treatment was on Nov. 18 , 2009. Hoping that all will completely go away in the next few months.

Great name for it!
Yep! I had it, too. It was super wierd, but then I got used to it, and one day, without my even noticing it, it had gone away. It is a very strange feeling. Congratulations on its disappearance!

had a "boom" in my neck!
Interesting how you call it a sonic boom! I got that too, but it wasn't in my feet- it was in the back of my neck when I looked down. and I didn't have it with Folfox- got it with Folfiri/the irinotecan. I'd usually notice it the next day or two when I'd look down. I'd describe it as kind of a jolt in the back of my neck, like someone either punched me there or whacked me with an electric cattle prod.
I didn't have it happen the last month of two I was on Folfiri, interestingly. I never heard anyone mention that before & back when I told my onc about it, he said he'd never heard of that before.

I'm glad to hear you are recovering and neuropathy side effects are lessening.

Oh MY! That's one side
Oh MY! That's one side effect I didn't get. I'm happy to hear that yours is going away...sounds very uncomfortable.
