anyone had Navelbine, what side effects??

Hello all, I am new to this forum, I am going thru
breast cancer recurrance after mascectomy, chemo
...last time had AC/Taxotere (couldnt take due to very bad
side effects) and Taxol. Am HER2+++hormone neg, age 46.
This time am on Herceptin weekly and just finished radiation,
and just started chemo with Navelbine. I was told and read it
is tolerated quite well...I am sensitive to meds and here is
what is going on with me...
Right away had mild aches and fatigue which worsened day 2.
Now at day 3 and 4 have severe jaw pain...it feels like someone tried to pull my tongue out, and then punched me in the jaw. Some joint pain continues. This really boggles my mind why my jaw hurts so, i have never had this before and I know it is from the chemo. I read it IS a rare side effect. Figures I would get it. I have no nausea.
Have some constipation. Am drinking alot of water and walking to help. ANyone else experienced this???
HELP! thanks, Nancy Love
