      I’ve had a bad day side effect wise. I’m beyond fatigued and had nausea earlier in the day so I ended up eating a full meal at 8pm way later than my usual dinner. Without thinking an hour later I took my 2 taf/1 mek pill…facepalm. Am I gonna be okay? Should I call my team in the morning? First time I’ve done that.

      Also has anyone experienced pain behind their knees and armpit joints?

      Thanks

          Don't worry about a occaisonal timing issue.  My husband has bee on Tafinlar for years and has random muscle/joint pain that floats from body part to body part.  I think this is a typical side effect.  Hope you're responding to treatment and feeling fewer side effects as you go on.  Take care.
