Hives
Been on Letrozole for 9 months. A few side effects (weight gain, hot flushes, occasional diarhroea). But now I have hives on my Labia Majora. I've been using Aloe Vera which has stopped the actual itching. Any suggestions on dealing with hives? Because it's from medication I don't know if it can be cleared up.
Anyone with issues with Bisphosphonates lots of mixed messages don’t know what to
I am reading so many different things about the good and bad of Bisphosphonates (Zometa) . I am getting really anxious and just don’t know which way to go. Definitely not going to use Prolia so now have to think about this Zometa . I am 70 and very healthy and active no other drugs nothing other than this early BC for which I have had surgery and radiation. I am on Anastrozole no problems and Oestopenic So worried that this infusion might change everything completely for me. Dr wants me to have 4 infusions. Any thoughts welcome
Anastrozole dosage.
Has anyone tried, preferably after medical advice, taking a day off Anastrozole every so often? I had the very best day yesterday. I cleaned my house. My eyesight was normal. I had only normal pain. I have a chronic condition that causes pain. Even my tinnitus was much less. At first I thought I’d turned the corner.......until......I realised I hadn’t taken my tablets the night before, including my Anastrozole. Last night I went back on it and today I’m back to crappy. I was wondering about taking a day off every fortnight just to feel normal, and wondered if anyone was doing that.
Are you using Kisqali?
Hi, I have an opportunity to talk to the manufacturers of the medication Kisqali. If you are using it, I’m wondering if there is anything about this drug that you would like me to pass on them? For example - was the information you received from your oncologist and in writing informative and easy to understand? Have you had any concerns you might have about taking this medication answered? Would it help to have a phone number or an email address in order to talk to a representative from the drug company? What about the side effects? I’d like the tablets to be smaller - a small thing but perhaps useful for others as well? What do you think? Is there anything else I can pass on to them? I’m very happy to hear all your suggestions, ideas and thoughts. Here is a wonderful opportunity for us, as users, to be proactive in getting the company to understand how this drug is effecting us and how they can further support us. I’m looking forward to your comments and suggestions so that I can have a bigger impact on the way the company works with its consumers. Debbie Packham
Horrid Bone and Joint Pain after Pegfilgrastim (Neulasta) injection????
Just wondering if anyone has had the horrible side effects of severe joint/bone pain from the waist down after their shot of the white blood cell booster Pegfilgrastim? My oncologist said it could be handled with panadol, well a trip to the ER because it was unbearable has left me having 5mg endone every four hours, but this ain’t working. I feel horrible already from the normal chemo side effects (TC, first dose) and to have this on top, plus adding more drugs to my body is starting to really stress me out. I cannot seem to find any info on Australian reputable sites about side effects and treatments of for the Pegfilgrastim. So I’m willing to hear any advise to get me through this crappy time !!
