I’ve just started on Capecitabine tablets only ( day 2 ) and my eyelids are sore . Has anyone else had this ? Any remedies ?

    Hi Takayasu?

    Sorry to hear this!

    Are they sire like muscle twitch sore? Or sore when going to cry? Or like red hot pain?

    I get the twitches & the crying pains but they do seem to subside further into the cycle. & I’m trying some tonic water this round to help with muscle twitches & pain so we’ll see how that goes?

    The oncologist said the effects that (mostly) hit the hands & feet could happen ANYWHERE on the body! (My scalp was  sore!) So possibly could be that? Maybe worth discussing with your team in case there is a cream if this is the case?

    Hope it improves for you soon!

  • Thanks  it’s a burning kind of feel on the upper eyelid - seemed to coincide with watery eyes . Lol it’s only day 2 !!

    Ooohhhh dear See no evil

    Sounds like it MIGHT be the same as the hands & feet pain!

    Maybe give them a wee ring? They gave me a cream called Diprobase (mostly my feet get it bad) but it is flammable & has paraffin in it so not sure if it would be at all suitable for the eyelids?!
