CBD OIL

Anyone on Xeloda and using CBD oil

[Magsue]

I’ve been using CBD/w THC balm on my feet trying to get some relief... but haven’t cracked the code on it working. Maybe a little short term relief. Are you talking ingesting? I’m doing pretty well on Xeloda out side of the feet and some had tingling. Reduce dose to 1500 - am and pm has helped. Otherwise feel better truancy Ibrance - don’t have the exhaustion which is so nice! But come day 9 /10 my feet are Pretty darn soar!! Love to Hear what you are thinking about with CBD! Wonder if ingesting would be better for feet?

I have been on xeloda for about 8 months. My oncologist says the condition of my hands and feet are the best he has seen of his patients. Don’t know if it’s just how I am reacting but I use aquaphor on my feet at night and wear socks over them. Then I rub the rest into my hands. Seems to be working well for me.

That’s great! What dose are you taking? Did you have bad side effects at the beginning of taking Xeloda ? I’m pretty punny ... my side effects kicked in on day 8. Ugh.

[Kimr2081 in reply to Annieandme]

Other than the hands and feet I have had no other side effects. I started with 1500 morning and night then dropped to only 1000 at night. That helped with my hands and feet. I hope you get to feeling better soon and it’s just your body adjusting.

take care.

That’s awesome! I tend to do pretty well on meds - even original diagnosis.... but this one is pretty rough on feet. I do use aquaohor - keeps them from carjacking but not much for pain. My dr said it seems to be worst in fair skin people. :(. I keep trying things and dose reduction helped - hoping my body starts to settle and it subsides! Yes I’m an optimist!!

Keeping the faith! Hope u are seeing great results! Have my first CT since starting next week!! 🙏

Good luck on your scan. I have done pretty well and its keeping things stable. I am sort of fair myself but it hasn't been unbearable. When it really bothers me is when I wear heels. I am trying to wear more flats to work but sometimes I just don't feel dressed up enough. Also, would need to get some pants hemmed!

I have been researching CBD oil ingested & applied topically. I just can't decide if it's placebo or legitimate. there's just so much conflicting info out there, but will continue to research...

[Kimr2081]

What are you using it for. I take CBD oil periodically to help with my anxiety. Taking the two together doesn’t seem to cause any issues.

I haven’t started taking it yet. Just doing some research

Keep us posted on what you decide.
