Hi Margie
I hear you! I too have triple negative and have just had 10th taxol after 4 rounds of AC chemo. I have joint pain especially in knees and one elbow which drives me mental!! I take panadol osteo which takes the edge off but the only thing that really works for me is movement. I walk every day which eases things and find I feel better after exercise. If I sit for long periods or first thing in the morning I am really stiff and sore but once moving things ease up. I also take wild krill oil which seems to help me. I call it my joint oil!
As for the (!) flushes I sleep under a cotton blanket in an air conditioned room with one leg out and try to wear only natural fibres. They still happen but I dont drench the bed like i did initially! Hot weather stress and too much chocolate makes mine worse but being well hydrated and keeping cool helps me a bit.
Hope you find some relief xx
