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.

I appreciate you responding,.....but I gotta admit, the last thing I want to do,...is anything.
I have been up since 4 this morning, worked my butt off all day, ran out of work at 2:30 couldnt stand the sensation any longer. I have an all day meeting tomorrow (8-5) so there will be no running. I am just so darn jumpy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't get into hair things after my wife lost all hers first year of treatment. But its grown back despite continued tx. A lot more gray and white with the aubourn, but its back. Looks cute too cut short! The other problems tingling/numbness could as cuteus sugg. be neuro. related. My wife as well as myself have Neuropathy. I've had it over 15 years now due to spinal injuries. And the most common needle/electrical stimulation tests miss many forms of Neurop. Check out www.neuropathy.org. They have a very informative newsletter mailed out free. Bye

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?

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

I'm familiar with those feelings.  I took on little, non-exerting, stuff around the house that were ignored for a long time. Got into the kids' rooms and cleared out the cracks and crevicies where stuff just goes. Found mementos from years past, photos, game peices, earings, dirty socks. It kept me busy, mind off other stuff and caused me to remember some of the cute things of their earlier years. Try it while listening to old favorite music you haven't heard in a while.
