I’ve only been taking these for a few weeks so far and have been a bit up and down, mostly with tiredness, aches and occasional nausea, which I expected as I know it’ll be good days and bad.
One thing that I didn’t expect was to develop large red blotches on my arms, upper torso and face. These were a bit nippy and sore, now some of them have died down but have left what looks like mild bruising.
They are roughly about the size of a fingerprint and seem to flare up then fade.
i know the pills can cause some weird and wonderful side effects and wondered if anyone else had experienced this?
Hi celtictaz19
I haven't had the treatment you're on so don't have any experiences with sore, large, red blotches on my body. My first thought is, have you reported these side effects to your treatment team?
Responding to your post will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list, and hopefully members who've had these combination of drugs will pop on to share their experiences with you.
While you're waiting for replies, it would be great if you could put something about your diagnosis and treatment to date into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
