Cut too much - too soon!

Sun, Aug 29 2010 by Charlene

So they told me I could back off my anti-nausea meds so I basically cut them in half, BUT I think it was too much too soon as I had more bad days this week than I normally do and suffered from sour stomach, not really nausea, but just sour stomach a lot this week.

So for my next treatment this week I will try taking a little bit more of the meds and see if that helps... but then I'll have the damn constipation to deal with again... really GREAT!

For every pill they give me for a side effect, I have to take two to counteract the effects from the damn pill... I hate taking all this medication!

I am finding that with each treatment I get more and more tired and can do less and less.... it's very frustrating and I feel bad for my poor husband who is trying to keep our lives as "normal" as possible by doing stuff we have always done, but nowadays I simply cannot keep up... I just want to feel normal again, I think I've forgotten what "normal" feels like anymore. :(

Any bets on whether or not they will be able to find the damn port this week? I'm so gun shy at this point I don't want them within ten feet of the damn thing.

To be continued...
