Not having a good day

Less than one minute read time.

Sorry but just using this as a chance to let off a bit of steam.

I am so tired! And I've completely lost my sense of taste. Even water tastes odd! Anyone else found that.

Pins and needles in my hands and feet are really bad. I find it difficult to get out of bed in the mornings sometimes the pain is so bad.

The only time I seem to get any relief is in a hot bath.

Keep having to tell myself it could all be a lot worse

    Hi Big Pete

    If you create a New Discussion in the Bowel Group you joined mentioning the above and naming which chemo drugs regime you are on I'm sure some of the members there will offer you some tips to help with the taste issues. It is a very common problem :(

    The pins and needles are probably Peripheral Neuropathy which some chemo drugs can cause. Mention that to your oncologist there may be some help they can offer you, but do keep an eye on it as it can start to get sore.

    Take care, G n' J
