"pricks"
Has anyone here suffered attacks of the "pricks" perhaps in correlation with hot flashes, but I'm not certain. Ruth is suffering more and more with this, the onc. said if it gets bad enough she can go on Neurontin, but I hope that she can get relief otherwise avoid that heavy duty drug. She says kinda like needles, quite unpleasant. The onc. seemed to imply this was somtimes part of hot flashes, but I wasn't clear. Perhaps a after-affect of the Taxotere?
Suggestions?
Thanks as always my friends
Terri
