      I see on here where many people are dealing with joint pain from the Zelboraf.  I just started it 2/21/13 and started 3 pills twice a day on 2/28/13. Within 3 days of the increased dose I had a terible rash all over and terrible joint pain.  I could hardly walk. I am still working and need to as long as I can.  Are you guys living with severe joint pain that keeps you from walking, grasping a pen, pouring a glass drinkg from a bottle/pitcher? THe onc.

THe onc. took me off z yesterday for a few days.  He said if I was better enough Friday (3 days off) I could start back on the z otherwise come to see him Monday and we will asses and start back on the low dose. I can put up with the itching even though it is terrible, but I cant function with the severtiy of joint pain I had the last 2 days.  It is getting better today and is tolerable.  I am back at work. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
