Hello everyone
I began taking this supplement about two weeks ago mainly for stiffness and joint pain but my Onc seemed to think it may also help the neuropathy in my hands which I had during taxol but has become a lot worse since taking Arimidex last Serptember.
I'm just wondering if anyone has had good results from this as I know it's early days yet but if anything I think this may be making my symptoms worse rather than better if thats possible!
I also have to begin Fosamax for some bone loss in the next few days and am concerned now if I'll have even more side effects to contend with!!
Thanks for any advice
Tricia
