Chemo 2, Day 5! Not so bad this time around. A lot of heartburn. I feel good overall, but it's on very shaky footing. Everything can be great, but if a tiny wave of lightheadedness hits me, it can snowball into full-out panic, for absolutely no reason. I'm physically shaky. The pain manifests in nerve twinges in my hands and legs. I step, and my ankle wobbles and collapses. The pain rolls around, billowing and vanishing, then back again to lock down like a charley horse. The drugs dull it a little but don't take it away.
I have to stay on track: smoke pot before eating, eat before taking narcotics. Decide at night what I think my biggest issue is at the moment: pain, or the ability to stay asleep?
Basically, I can't take all the drugs all at the same time. I still haven't mastered the perfect formula.
I'm having zero nausea. None. The only twinges came when I was piling on to a hysterical almost panic attack. If something is going wrong and you're probably going to die, vomiting will definitely be part of it. Everyone knows that.
