Yeah, I'm not crazy. I finished chemo (taxotere/carboplatin) in June and am just now restarting herceptin...most of my joints are painful. After sitting, it takes me several steps to get going. I tell people "I can't go 0-60, like I used to." My hands hurt, my feet hurt and are changing. I have neuropathy in feet and hands, it is getting better but the middle finger on my right hand...oh my! I had been wondering why I could barely get around...force myself to walk for exercise because I love it.
