SHOT #20~Apr 27/28~Well, we got another bruise and bump with this one. Just a little one though. I had a terrible headache all day before the shot. Pre Shot Stress!! Even the Darvocet didn't help it. I tossed and turned all night. Tuesday was another yucky day. The diarrhea was in full force, as well as the nausea. The nausea is just a feeling though so thats not so bad. I did eat dinner, so thats a good thing! The headache came and went all day, but for some reason I couldn't sleep. An insomniac night.
I have made an appointment with the Dr for May 6. I have several questions for him and hope to find out what I can do about the mood swings. They are getting worse. I think I need reassurance, as I am still feeling rather discouraged. I am trying to keep as busy as I can so as not to get too far down in the dumps.
SHOT #21~Apr. 29/30~We have moved to the side of my leg now. Just a little bruise too. Not bad at all. I had another PreShot Headache. Or maybe it was just the same one hanging around. Went to bed early and tossed and turned until about midnight.
I did manage 10 hours of sleep! I woke up with the headache and nausea, which stayed with me throughout the day. I'm also having that pain in my back just above the kidney again too. I'm glad I'm going to the Dr on the 6th. Have a big list for him. This week seems to have been not such a good one but it went by fast. I haven't lost any more weight and that is a good sign I think. Kind of surprising, considering how little I eat and with all the diarrhea. I sure wish THAT would ease up.
SHOT#22~May 1~My body feels so tired tonight. Just worn out for some reason. I did spend the day at my brothers' work, helping out in the office. By 3 I was out of gas. It seemed like my brain just shut down.
The shot seemed to sting alot tonight. Not just the injection, but the Intron itself. I wonder if the fact that it is refridgerated has anything to do with that. The pain in my back is still there. Its above my kidney and below the rib cage. Sort of in between. I'll have to add that to my question list for the Dr. I notice my scalp is getting drier and also flaky like the rest of my skin now too.
The Intron seems to be kicking in faster tonight than usual. Its only been an hour but my eyes are getting blurry and I am getting dizzy too. It could be just that I am very tired tonight though. Hopefully I will sleep good. I feel like I haven't slept well all week so tonight ought to be a good one. Not feeling so great, so I am off to bed.
I can't believe I have finally hit the 8 week mark. Now that its here it seems to have come fast, but getting here seemed to take forever!
