I was stage 3, estrogen sensitive...I did 6 mos chemo (5 different drug...5fu, cytoxin, methotrexate,other 2?) I took tomxifen for 10 mos and stopped...I have NEVER had any hormonal replacement therapy of any kind.
In 2003 a doctor put me on insulin (1 YR)& my wt shot up 85#'s. When I discovered this I made every change necessary to get off of the shots which I succeeded in doing and I've been off about 8-10 months..I've lost 25#'s just since Jan.
My current A1C is 6.2...I take 10mg glucotrol xl, and for my thyroid I take levilthroxine 250 mcg.
My question has to do with a prickly stinging sensation when I have been extra active....If I am going to get more weight off I really need to start working up a little sweat...right now I am only walking because I do have (scale 1-10) 7 level joint pain in my hips, knees, (roller skating acc in 1987).
This feeling is quite painful and takes 20 -30 sec to subside. It's feels like needle pains (like falling on a cactus plant).
Please help

Novelos' pipeline of drugs is based on oxidized glutathione, a natural metabolite that is part of the glutathione pathway. This pathway is the primary determinant of intracellular redox (oxidation/reduction) potential and, as such, plays a key role in cell protection (e.g. detoxification) and in regulation of cell signaling pathways (e.g. leading to cytokine production). Novelos’ lead products are believed to act, in part, via post-translational modification (glutathionylation) of critical regulatory proteins that mediate processes including immune function, cell proliferation and tumor progression (in combination with chemotherapy). They may also sensitize tumor cells to certain chemotherapeutic drugs by modifying drug detoxification processes.

No way can any woman have stage IV breast cancer and not manifest symptoms She's looking for attention for sure. It's bad enough to have the first stage because if it's caught in time, you can be cured. Even with stage 2 and 3 with chemo is iffy. I know this girl is giving you line of bull. You called her Satan, is that her real name or just something you gave her? What does a tattoo have to do with all of this? You're telling us about her so called stage IV breast cancer then you go on the tell about a tattoo. What's one got to do with other. Maybe I'm missing something here, but I don't get it Bottom line, I don't believe she has cancer. I believe she's looking for attention and pity. As one poster said, there have been ppl that will fake a disease to get handouts. I think she's wanting everyone to pay attention to her. 2yrs, stage IV breast cancer, no treatments????? No way, she would have been dead a long time ago. I'm sorry, but I don't believe her.and you shouldn't either.

It doesn't sound like cancer but only doctor can say what it is.
If you think you are in risk of the disease again try Zell oxygen during 2 months by year. Its like a chemoprevention

The needle type pains sounds like diabetic neuropathy. See your doc and find out if this is what it is.
