Think i spoke too soon.....
I seemed to be doing ok with the Tykerb/Xeloda until yesterday when i felt really under the weather was almost sick and had some diarrhhea. i also have had a headache since i started taking it.. some days its bearable but other days feels like i have a major hangover.. the worst part for me now is i have several mouth ulcers and some on my tongue.. its making eating and drinking very painfull. Despite rinsing in my mouthwashes every few hours. The fatigue hits me everyday mid afternoon too.. its day 9 so i am guessing my bloods are dropping now at this stage..
I am assuming all of this is normal?? Have any of you had really bad sores in your mouth and any tips for getting rid of them quickly??
Love Jakki
