Probably neuropathy.  The oncological pharmacist at our
hospital recommended glutamine and vitamin b-6. - Tony

Hi! I was on Xeloda this time last year and had hand and feet problems.
What I figured out was:

- Vitamin b6 twice per day (I kept upping the dose, with permission, and
it helped,

- I bought slip on shoes in a larger size and wore them most of the
time. Tight shoes just made my feet so much worse.

- I put Dr. Scholls gel soles in the freezer and used them in my shoes
or slippers if I needed an extra break. Cold in general on my feet felt
great. Sometimes I put a cold pack on my feet in bed.

- I always used rubber gloves in the kitchen, in the house I used cotten
gloves and outside, leather gloves. On my feet, I always had socks over
the lotion, even in bed.

- I used a layer of aloe (it feels cool) then lotion on my hands and
feet whenever I could. I liked Bag Balm and Eucerin lotions, which you
can find at the drug store.

Someone else posted about Xeloda side effects recently and I don't know
if there were any other ideas. You might want to look through the
emails. They posted under the generic drug name. Good luck!
