other side effects?

I'm on week 20/48 and recently I have been bothered by numbness in my fingertips and sometimes my toes. I've also noticed that i "hurts" to comb my hair.  Nothing terrible (like the rage and the rash), but bothersome. Anyone know anything about this? I'm assuming (but will check with the doc next visit) that it's just another side effect.

AH I know! Breakage was the first thing that happened and I have never SEEN so many split ends as a result - I have become best friends with my little pair of scissors!  I got so mad at it one day that I chopped off like 4 - 6 inches then I hated myself even more!

Between the skeletal body the pasty skin and the hair problem ugh yuck gross!  I know that it seems like it's being stupid complainning about such things but...it's NOT.

Never EVER feel guilty about something like that.  It's something we can ALL relate to you know.  At first it's like OK i'll put makeup on and get dressed and I'll be fine but after 20 weeks you take a look in the mirror and go WHAT who is THAT?

Vanity is someone who looks in the mirror and goes oh God I am so lovely look at me! People like us who just wish we looked BETTER from our disease......that's just simplly being RATIONAL don't you think?  :)

PS Friole turned me on to a special shampoo for people like us - Nioxin. I don't nkow if you need it because your hair isn't falling out - but it's something to remember!

Not to 'split hairs', but I think the Vanity is the thing the mirror sits *on*.

Well duh, why wait 20 weeks to look in the mirror, maybe if you did right after all that you'd know.
