Tuesday, another morning and evening dose of steriods! Then time for my neulasta shot. I went in got the shot and left. I asked when should I experience any side effects. One nurse said 3-5 days another nurse said within a day.. OK.....Within 12 hours of the shot, I started feeling body aches. Kinda like flu like aches and pains. So, Wednesday I was tired and had some aches and pains. Not bad enough that I wasn't able to spend 2 hours at school with parent/teachers conferences!!!! I really haven't had a good nights sleep since Saturday. With all the steriods in me and the aches and pains I couldn't get comfortable.
No nausea, so I happy as a pig in you know what. Thursday was worse with the aches and pains, still couldn't get comfortable. So I said I'd call the doctor for a sleeping pill Friday if I wasn't able to sleep. I called Friday, got the sleeping pill, took it and still didn't work!!! That did it! Time for my own remedy!
Saturday was a beautiful fall day! Joey had a baseball double header. I sat for 4 hours in the fresh air. Walked around abit to stretch and it felt great. Went home and before bed I had a glass of wine. I don't know if it was the wine, fresh air, and walking that did it, but I slept 11 hours!!!! Or maybe too, the steriods were on there way out of my body.....So, note to self: wine and fresh air works if this happens again.
I then thought I was on my way to feeling better......By Sunday I started feeling like myself again....If this happens everytime, I can do it. Just one week of feeling crappy and 2 full weeks of normalcy.
One down 3 to go!
