I had my first round of the new chemo drug on Monday, and the shot on Tuesday. Today I am experiencing aches and pains in my muscles and bones. Mostly in my hips and legs. I tried some Tylenol, which is the only pain medication my Dr. wants me to take right now, but it doesn't give me much relief...briefly at best. She predicted this symptom and told me that if the Tylenol doesn't work, I can take more steroids...not exactly what I want to do. Steroids and me do not get along well.
Tonight will be interesting. I hope I shall be able to sleep with this aching going on. I slept well last night, and hope that will be the case again. Today wasn't overly exciting...I paid some bills and did the dishes. WoooHoooo! I look around at other things that need doing, and my legs ache as I try to move around. I have to sit down frequently, which puts a damper on many activities.
I was hoping that this drug would not be so intrusive, but it seems worse than the previous symptoms of fatigue and tiredness. I hope I can stick it out for three more treatments. No telling how long these symptoms may last...
Love to All,
Mary
