Re: What helps the Taxol Itching?? Drives me nuts!!
I actually just read something an hour ago that suggests that the itching is actually a form of neuropathy. I have one spot on the bottom of my foot near the arch that is itchy. It drives me crazy. I hadn't thought of it as neuropathy as that to me seemed like tingling, numbness, pain etc. So, I think if it is that you won't get relief from creams etc. as much as you will from neuropathy treatments. Check with your oncologist. L-glutamine (I stopeed taking it becuae I thought I didn't have neuropathy), B complex and then maybe one of the prescriptions - gabaplatin or something like that?? Good luck! Google neuropathy itching and see what you come up with.
