I to have had chemo treatments for 1 year. my last dose was Sept. of 2008.  I am so glad to find out there are others with the same symtoms I have and it now has a name.  I thought I was going crazy with this- not knowing what it was although I have not said anything to my doctor yet, I surely will now.  The tingling, burning, achy feelings, and swelling are awful.  I also have a reddish brown marks (almost like sun spots) on my lower legs now by my ankles going halfway up my legs were most of the burning is.

You need to tell your doctor right away before it is getting worse, especially when your immune system kicks in low gear!   My mom first started in March and then it is getting worse as she contracted with Pneumonia that caused her paralyzed and hospitalized since April....  Pls have the doctor to take a look at and ask for lyrica/neurotin for pain reliever...

Best wishes,

Victoria
