Hello you beautiful
People 🩷 I’m
Just wondering does anyone get an aura and sight loss like the start of a migraine when they have their piriton and steroid iv before paclitaxel it lasts about 15-20 mins and I get a dull headache. It’s probably just me but thought it was worth an ask
Have a lovely day and keep smiling

Hello!
I didn’t get it during actual treatment, but I did get visual auras whilst on paclitaxel. I do suffer from migraines, but never get visual auras so it was definitely chemo related. I got like an inverted C shape of zigzags and a blind spot, very odd. I also got tender temples 
My oncologist said it was probably nerve related. I am 6 weeks post treatment now and haven’t had an aura for about 4 weeks now so hopefully they’re gone!
Best of luck with your treatment
