Xeloda -- foot care
Hi Xeloda users! This might not be news, but it was news to me so I thought I'd post it. I've been taking Xeloda for nearly five years, so have tried many potions and pastes on my feet to keep them ...

Hi Wendy. Yes, always tired at the end of the on cycle, and probably a bit cranky too! I also don't feel much like eating and can forget to feed myself, which can make both symptoms worse.
Your poor hands-- that must make things very hard. Mine are dry and can be sore but nothing as unpleasant and limiting as that. Do you wear cotton gloves over moisturiser applications?
I've seen ads for those sock things but I think they would be too harsh for tender feet -- it's some kind of chemical peel and that sounds nasty
And yes, my eyes and nose do run, but I hadn't linked it with Xeloda. And yes, they are worse in wind and dry up when I lie down (to the extent that I have to put drops in my eyes sometimes to get my eyes to open again). It helps to know I can blame the drug and it's not just my body packing it in! :)
