@primek thanks for your reply, and a giggle re: wine, etc.. i'm allergic to sulfates, so a few drops in the bottle of food grade peroxide is needed for me, or i get bad leg cramps & flushes from wine.
I've had hot flushes with Pacletaxel, and of course the neuropathy.
I'm keen to get my libido back & try something for the vag dryness as it can be really uncomfortable during sex & needing lube all the time can be a bit of a put off, my relationship is only 6 months in. Luckily he's a very understanding guy with hormone issues of his own - he was born with a hormone disorder & needs regular Testosterone injections, so also has fluctuating hormones and all that come with that.
Pre-cancer I was on HRT, and my libido was really high, which was pretty normal for me... to the point it scared some poor buggers off when I was casually dating LOL so the thought of living with a low to non-existent libido is a bit hard to handle for me.
