Hi sweety, going through a few dramas I see, that's normal. I think you are handling everything so well, and rolling with the punches, as we all do. I had Taxotere, and I had the cold gloves on for that as it ruins your nails. I religiously covered my nails in nail hardener Revitanail as advised, and nails are fine. I had to self inject Neulasta, and was a sook, and asked for the community nurse to come over and watch me do it to see if I got it right. I had ! I recall the aches, and managed them with consistently taking paracetamol, max of 8 per day, I had to write down when I had taken them, to remember, taking them consistently is advised during that time. No a great idea to stop and start with paracetamol. The joints gave me a bit of grief after, so now I am taking Flaxseed Oil in Capsule form which for all of you Omega fans, is double the benefit of Fish Oil !! Good luck, and if I can get through it all, and go back to work, so can you (smile). x Bel
