Short Update

 

I’m still learning.

A woman in a group I am in posted to be careful of feeding the nausea. It’s a vicious cycle.

Which, thinking about it, makes sense.

My stomach gets empty, I get a twinge of nausea with the hunger, so like I did with morning sickness, I eat.

Only it doesn’t help, it makes it worse.

I am going to try always nibbling on something. Anything. I need to eat. I’ve been nibbling on Ritz crackers this evening with flat coke.

Yesterday was a good day, except you know, after I ate, then I was sick for a bit. Even with the smallest amount of food.

Today I felt really great. I mean almost myself.

Then I had a very small lunch. And again, it hit me. I have been charting all my symptoms, so next infusion I know what to do and know what’s coming.

Is that possible?

According to people in the support group, things subside by day 10. I’m on day 8. Again, three bad days isn’t bad, I shouldn’t complain, but I am.

Hopefully tomorrow the ‘I feel good’ will last even longer. Mentally, I am still strong. I tell myself that what I am feeling is because the treatment is kicking ass. God’s got this.

I don't think it will be long before my hair goes or really thins out. It's acting very weird and looks odd.

Sorry for the short blog, but wanted to update you.

Maybe someone can explain this daylight savings time law they passed. What does that mean?
