Guest guest Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 I had a lot of trouble w/twitching when I had taxol, but I always attributed it to the benadryl they gave me before the taxol. that knocked most women out -- they'd be snoozing in their chairs but I was always wide awake, twitching and fidgeting like crazy! A couple times I literally could not sit still and had to walk around the halls w/my iv pole -- the nurses teased me that i was wearing a new pattern in the carpet! --- mjag54 wrote: > SORRY I LEFT THIS QUESTION OUT .

IS THIS A SIDE EFFECT OF THE TAXOL? This could just be regular old " restless legs syndrome. " I've had it before and it seems to have come back a little since starting chemo.

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 I have a stomach condition that I sometimes have to take phenergran (an anti-nausea medicine) for. It gives me restless leg syndrome and I have found that benedryl will help relieve it. Re: TWICTHING Quoting mjag54 < mjag54@... <mailto:mjag54%40yahoo.com> >: > SORRY I LEFT THIS QUESTION OUT .

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 I have totally gotten this on the Taxol. Plus I have developed a slight tremor in my hands. Otherwise, I am tolerating Taxol quite well. --- mjag54 wrote: > SORRY I LEFT THIS QUESTION OUT . DOES ANYONE HAVE TWICTHING AND JUMPING > OF LEGS AND ARMS THAT JUST HAPPEN.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Hmmm... MOST interesting. Phenergan is what was prescribed as the anti-nausea med for chemo. Man, does that sure put me out!
