Hi there

After 4 sessions of EC chemo, I started my 5th of Paclitaxel on Monday. Everything was going fine till 3rd day. Enjoyed not feeling sick as I did on EC drug. However day 3 hit and started getting abdominal period type pain then legs and joint ache. I've had 2 days of constant throbbing and restlessness, not much sleep. Been taking painkillers but not doing much. Hot water bottles, bit of yoga has helped but basically constant annoying pain. Does anyone have any great tips on overcoming this?  The long nights awake feel a bit torturous!!!!

Many thanks everyone
