Fell asleep real good but woke up at 2:30 last night so took another 1/2 Ativan and read until 4:30AM. Tonight I will be taking the normal 1mg of Ativan so I am sure of a good sleep.
Very tired. Fatigued/lethargic. Nausea mild until late afternoon....got bad so had to take some Compazine. It has helped take the bad edge off. So much for no nausea! I am just hoping it goes away quicker.
Feel like I was hit by a bus. Achey, sore muscles, headache, etc, etc, etc. So sick of myself!
The sore mucles, joints thing is a side effect that is just starting for me - so add another one to the list. It's mild so far though so that's a good thing. If you can call a side effect a good thing?
Started getting the chills awhile ago so took a scorching hot bath hoping to knock it out. It felt good but now I am in bed typing this and they are back. Hot then cold.
Maybe I am getting the flu?
I am still hopeful that I will come around this weekend. It will be a bitch if I don't come around by my next treatment! Bad thought! Won't go there.
Thank you for all my readers comments of support and prayers - I don't feel so alone. Thanx for listening to me bitch and groan too.
Hoping I have something more positive to post later...
P.S.
Just took my temp and it's 100.2. Checked the fact papers and some of the side effects from the first infusion of Herceptin is fever and chills which can affect up to 40% of patients. So I am going to monitor the fever and go take some Tylenol.
