Tonya: Had the feet thing too. All of my skin peeled off, ugly, and the bottoms turned black, uglier. Things improved after a dose reduction.

I also found if you are on you feet soak them in cool water and use a cream. I used Eurcerin Targeted Foot Therapy. Elevate your feet whenever you can. I also took two 100 mg of vit B6. I found wearing open shoes helped, especially soft bedroom slippers at home and flip flops.

My hands were affected too. I had GI issues as well. Taking lactabacillius made a difference as well as small meals frequently.

I hope to get results with the side effects and with crushing those cancer cells!!!

Take care...Darlene
