Re: Chemo Hurts

OH Sweetie, ouch I feel for you. Glad the nausea meds are working to help
you out though. That is good.

I am wondering since I had a flare up like that a few days ago with the pred
issue and dehydration thing, if maybe that might be what flared you too.
Could it be you needed more fluids to combat what you have been losing. Just
wondering. I hate to see anyone suffer.

If you have trouble with the nausea and such I am wondering if you could
drink pedialyte to keep your electrolytes in somewhat of a balance.

Oh, not the actually taking in of the chemicals. That's no more painful
that having an IV for several hours. No, the second day out, I got what
feels like the fibromyalgia flare from hell. There is not a joint or
muscle on my body that doesn't hurt bad. It's been nearly impossible to
sleep through it. The pain medicine barely touches it. Thank goodness for
the anti-nausea medicine. That at least has been a God-send. I spent most
of yesterday in bed. It's 4 AM and I am feeling a little better. I am
hoping the worst of it is passing. Two days like this is certainly enough!

I have lost 21 pounds since this saga began. I just don't have any
interest in food. When I do get hungry, I try to eat, but it's not always
easy to make myself eat something. Saltine crackers seem to be the only
thing at times that will help.

On a more positive note, I got the new hats I ordered. I really like them.
I'm gonna look sharp when I do get to go to church. We went over to
Wal-Mart briefly yesterday since that's the only place that sells the
cottage cheese I like. I wore a mask and my cancer awareness hat and used
one of their little go-carts. We weren't even there a whole half hour, but
it was outside these four walls. Then we came home and I went back to bed.
