Herceptin and cramps
Interesting! I started getting leg cramps, and sometimes also hand and side/rib cramps around the time I started on Herceptin. I also started on Fosamax (and Advair and Nasonex!) around the same time and had assumed the cramps were due to the Fosamax, but maybe not. The cramps are sometimes quite intense and I also had trouble one evening getting my feet out of the complete cramp lock they were in. Not troublesome enough (of course) that I would stop the Herceptin, but interesting that this may be an under-reported side effect. As you say, good to let the docs know so others starting on the drug won't be wondering what is going on. I'll be interested to hear if others have had the same issue. Another possible minor side effect (or maybe this isn't Herceptin) - my finger nails are being very badly behaved since I started Herceptin. They got through Taxol OK (mis-coloured, threatening to drop off etc.) but actually were very strong during treatment. Since Herceptin they are soft and peel/crack all the time. Anyone else finding this as a problem?? Best to all of you out there walking this path. Jo
