Fatigue is not funny. It is not like you are unwilling or unable, just too tired to do things. It is like narcolepsy I guess. I cannot imagine my having a real job with this level of fatigue. This is on the "checklist " of side effects to occur, I just did not think it would be this severe this early in the treatment plan. I feel like I am trying to pull an all-nighter in college.
Still suffering from neuropathy (burning your skin from touching cold objects ). I picked up the lemonade pitcher in the fridge and down it went. I felt like someone burned my hand.'
Well, we're having some folks over today -- one social and one business so I need to run -- fat chance of that! LOL.
Peace and Happiness to each of you . Please let me know how you are doing.
Hi Peggy--The tiredness and neuropathy both sound very irritating—hang in there! A friend of mine was telling me about her experience with chemo a few years ago and the hot/cold issue. I had never heard of this before. Sounds awful! She also said metal silverware “tastes” awful during chemo and that she had to use plastic forks/spoons. Have you experienced a funny taste? Thanks for keeping us updated and have fun with your visitors today! Very exciting! : ) Michelle
ReplyDeleteWe used plastic forks for a while-- so I know what she tasted. We are back to regular silverware. Some of these little irritants are over soon after they begin -- thank goodness.
