Morning all, (02:39am). New symptom tonight - restless legs so annoying as I am tired and I want sleep.  . Also not managed to open my bowls since Monday morning, so starting to worry about that and bank holiday weekend is coming up so not sure what I can take. Sorry I know this is a moaning text. Just hoping if I can get it off my chest I might feel a bit better and I know there is no judgement here.

Morning,I had restless legs too during treatment,used a magnesium spray and then took magnesium tablets ,it worked for me . If you haven’t got a laxative ,Lactulose ,is usually quite mild ,I would try tinned prunes .Nice with some custard and try and get plenty of water down as well . Xx

Sorry to hear you are now suffering with restless legs, that is such a horrible feeling. I do suffer from this at times, but not while on chemo so far. I too have been suffering from constipation since last cycle, same as last time. I have been using Laxido which was prescribed by oncologist, but so far nothing. Gp gave me some lactulose a couple of weeks ago, but haven't tried that yet. I was given an out of hours number to phone if I had any issues. They told me meds could be sent by courier if necessary. Was you given a number to call if you need to? Try and catch up on some sleep through the day if you can. Hope you start to feel better soon. Xx

Hi MadhatterC I think I had the same toilet issues before when I had the strong treatment your on, it's a combination of the steroids and anti sickness tablets causing the problems but it does normally pass after a few days,  hope you start feeling better soon xx

Oh so sorry Madhatter, i missed this post before! How are you doing now? Any bowel movement? I’m pretty bunged up too..taking laxido and trying to eat lots of fibre! 
Hope you’re doing ok. How are the legs, 

sending virtual hugs your way xx

Oh good too on the magnesium!

Hope you’re doing ok now and hope you’ve had a lovely Easter xx

hi both

Have you tried grapes.  Just a handful a day really help.  I also try weetabix for breakfast daily to keep things moving xx
