Inflammatory Arthritis during treatment

Hi I had 4 cycle AC and 4 cycles Dox/hercepton, and finished the 9mths of hercepton only 12/3/15. Haven't been diagnosed with IA but had a lot of conditions that are inflammatory. I was just getting ready for my next onc appt, read my diary. Dizziness, ear probs, hip joint probs, rashes etc etc. After reading my diary I realised a lot of the above problems have receded. So I believe that the hercepton has a lot more side effects than my onc says, and that these have not stopped until after hercepton finished. Hopefully you will be the same, but it might not improve until your hercepton finishes.
I still have a few probs and have started having another smoothie - turmeric, cinnamon plus a bit of honey in milk. The site that I get my supreme green blend etc had a write up that turmeric is meant to reduce inflammation - it said as well as any perscription drugs!! Did a little bit of research that appears to back the claim, but they talk about supplements (as in concentrated versions). So anyhow thought I'd give the turmeric drink a go.
So hope the IA goes away for you.
