I had my treatment on Weds. On Sat. right on queue I started having my side effects. This time the worst of it is weakness and achyness in my legs. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to combat this? Is is better to rest them or excersise them?

I think pain is there to tell us to stop doing something.. it should ease off after a couple of days.. I used to find that heat helped with aching muscles and would lay on a bed with an electric blanket on.. very soothing.. get as much sleep as you can through the worst of it.. sleep will help you to heal more quickly as well as making you unconscious... drink lots of water and omega 3 oil of fish oil is great for easing stiff joints and repairing nerve damage... I really feel for you right now and hope you get over it soon.. lots of love, hugs and best wishes.. xxxxxx

Thank you Halli and Lindamae. I think you are both right about the heat. Today it seems to have settle in my lower back and hips. I have a heat and massage pad that I have been using and it does give me some comfort.
