      I have had 4 doeses of nivo/ipi combo and just had the 3rd dose of just nivo. I had a little insomnia before the 3rd dose but not bad. I had the 3rd dose on 11/10/16 and I am going on 6th day with no sleep. Dr put me on 30 mg of Temazepam, took one at 7:15 last night and went to bed and was up at 9:00 couldn't sleep. Has anyone else experienced this? Odd is that I don't feel tired. That's not the reason for delaying my next dose. I have had dry mouth for 7 weeks now. Tuesday morning when I took my first bite of food on about the third chew a sharp needle like pain started in my right upper jaw, went through my inner ear and up into my brain. It lasted for about 5 seconds and then slowly ceased. This happened for the next 7 or eight bites of food. This has happened at each meal. Spoke with my oncologist who had me try several test over the phone. He has stopped my treatment and has referred me to an ENT Dr. He thinks my salavi gland on the right has something wrong other than causing dry mouth. Has anyone experience any of this on nivo/ipi combo?
