Hi @Caz1,
I'm ahead of you, finished AC on pac course. I ordered some Peter Mac mouthwash from Ebay. Little sachets you rinse with after eating and that helped with mouth sores. I also had the terrible acid throat which settled down later in the AC and has disappeared with pac. I found gaviscon tablets helped (dual action chewable) and being careful with what I ate, not drinking fluids on top of eating, most of that reflux stuff, sitting up. With the steroids I asked my oncologist if I could take less, because I found they made me hyper too. I think some people are more sensitive. I tapered the four day course more quickly after the first week. They are for nausea so if you aren't getting that...
She prescribed lorazepam for sleeping for four nights after chemo in AC too which was great. Perhaps your doc would do the same. I had one night of chemo dreams and that was enough! Good luck with it!!
I find walking everyday helped with many side effects. There is my post here about cold therapy for Paclitaxel neuropathy which you may find interesting.
