Your list was perfect and a "must read" for newbies. I had everyone of them except for "losing my eye brows." I am now 8 months since my last treatment and am happy to report most these changes--GONE !!
I am going to add it to the bottom of this list. If anyone would like to add more, I would think copying the list and adding it might be helpful to clarify all that can happen. And eventually the list could be posted by itself.
The only side effect I had that I would add--is insominia. And that too is getting better.
*Chills - all the time, not just during infusion
*Jerking/twitching of my legs
*Lost my eyelashes (twice)
*Slow hair growth (but VERY happy to even have hair to grow slowly!!)
*Brittle nails
*Fatigue!!!
*Weight gain/inability to lose weight
*Cracked skin on fingers
*Vision changes
*Drippy/runny nose
*Back pain (chemo?)
*VERY tired/heavy feeling legs
*Stiffness after sitting
*Insomnia
