Sorry about your misery. Taxol made me feel like I had the flu for months.
When I rode in the car I felt awful. I do have motion sickness and felt really whirly. Could you have a dramamine or the like? Ask your care team.
Try, try, try to eat. Food helps, I have seen reports that suggest anorexia can exacerbate the side effects of Taxol (I could not eat and ended up with peripheral neauropathy). I was on lots of oxycodone for the misery (it really worked). Don't be afraid to ask for pain medication!! But had to drink Instant Breakfast, chase it with Metamucil and down a senna and colace to counter the constipation from the oxycodone.
My Dentist gave me a gel called Oxyfresh Dental Gel. After brushing with a really soft Rembrant brand brush with the Biotene, rinse and smear the gel around your mouth. Have them check your mouth for thrush and other infections.
Hang in.
Carla
