REPORT

The FDA does report that it has been known to cause neuropathy in 60 to 70% of patients that use it, along with other side effects, such as nausea, hair loss, joint/muscle pain, and diarrhea.

Ref: Taxol Information

Unfortunately, if you've actually experienced nerve damage, then your issues may be permanent.

Are you on any other medications? Has your doctor provided any advice, or ideas?

Re: VerFree (# 1)

I used Taxol for 3 months and I already had mild neuropathy. After the infusions, the neuropathy got progressively worse and spread to other parts of my body. The problem with Taxol is that is has a long half-life. I have just started Taxol and it has the same side effects, so I am worried about my neuropathy worsening even though I am using ice mittens and booties.
