Joint pain
very specifc joint pain
insomnia
minor nose bleeds
I have joint pain in my both my thumbs that waxes and wanes since I began Herceptin. I already told my onc about it and was told that I could go see another doc if the pain gets too bad. Lately when I wake I can feel the bones grind together. I started herceptin 12/21/05
I cannot sleep at all and therefore am always tired and sluggish. I already used up my ativan and cannot get anymore. Now I am trying melatonin (OTC) but it doesn't seem to help.
I am pretty sure I have always been a bit moody, so I hesitate to blame the drug.
Nose bleeds that are very minor, usually at night, so that I wake with some dried blood in my nose.
