Herceptin Side Effects

I have received 2 cycles of Taxol/Herceptin. For several weeks I have been experiencing all over chills/goosebumps and then a wave of tingling and numbness all over. It lasts several minutes. It's almost like tiny electrical shocks ? Mostly when I lay down. One night it was so strong it woke me from a sound sleep. These episodes continue 5-6 times while I'm trying to go to sleep. Sometimes when sitting up this same thing happens to my legs-numb/tingling sensation. Is this a form of neuropathy? Possible nerve damage? Any info. would be appreciated.
