I don’t recall tingling on EC but there were endless side effects for me. It might help to keep a note of symptoms and the day they occur - if it’s a side effect of the chemo then you can know to expect it in the next cycle and won’t be as surprising or worrying. Wishing you the best, EC is a beast but you’ll nail this! X

I had ECT and I got tingling in my hands and feet it was neuropathy.
I found that a pillow at my feet keeping my heels off the mattress and a very light duvet helped
It didn’t last forever I’m 1 year finished and it’s gone
Good luck wishing you well

Hello
Please talk to your team / hotline as it maybe neuropathy and they might need to adjust your treatment
Wearing fluffy warm socks and using golfers heat up tea bags for your hands may help during the sessions and for a few days after

Good luck

Thank you, i will talk to them x

Hi @toffee
I wore compression gloves and socks during my chemo infusions and it helped. No tingling anywhere else.
Do speak to your team.
Iall the best
