yes I have to say I dontRE said:Normal
The electrical shocks are prob. your nerve firing off, some chemos cause nerve damage just be sure to mention it to your doc when you see him. I was super light headed, for me it all cleared up at the start of the third week. I hope you feel better soon.

I really hate to tell you this BUT: I am 18 months out of chemo and my taste buds are very SLOWLY returning. The peripheral neuropathy has not deminished at all, and Chemo brain sucks big time, I can't DO numbers, make change, count money........I have been told that only a few respond like this, I sure hope it is so.

Hi Lisa
Make sure you mention your symptoms to your oncologist...you sound like you have some neuropathy going on which I know happens with some chemos.
Remember too that you will have a new normal now that you are on chemo...it took me 6 weeks to figure that out.
Hugs and stay warm in Canada. Its cold here in Wisconsin, so youve gotta be cold

My onc makes me take B-6
My onc makes me take B-6 (150mg) per day to ward off the shocks in my fingers/toes. Also take a claritin for 10 days to help with the Neulasta shot if you are having one of those. (CHeck with your onc first, of course!) I also got mouth sores and my doctor gave me some special lozenges for that and I didn't get any for treatment #3. good luck! Pitt0 -
Lisa, unfortunately the
Lisa, unfortunately the nerve damage causing the numbness and tingling is a symtom of chemo
and won't get better. My toes are permanently numb. My symptoms never kicked in until the 4th, or 5th day after a treament.You will feel better the third week, right before you go back for more fun! My sickness and diarea did stop with the chemo though,and my taste came back quickly, so it will get better.

side effects
I had the same side effects after my first chemo. I told my onc and she changed the dosage for my second chemo and the effects were much better. I had no bone pain or achiness. I was afraid changing the dosage would mean more chemo, but that's not the case. Talk to your onc and good luck!0 -

I've had terrible mouth sores. Do you remember the name of the lozenges your doctor gave you? I've been doing a rinse, but if there is something that helps prevent them, I'm all for it.
Thanks!
