Started of well but the bone pain kicked in Sunday afternoon. At least I feel human on this chemo but I've been in agony. Tried Tramadol, Codeine, also tried Paracetamol and Ibuprofen together. I also had my Lidocaine plasters (slow release pain killer) all over me which I have for my Fibromyalgia. Ended up phoning the Oncology department at 2am Monday but they didn't want to take me in. So Tuesday morning I phoned my GP and got some stronger pain medication and ended up spending the whole day and night in bed. I'm now on Dihydrocodeine and Naproxen and it is finally helping with the bone pain.
I also have what feels like muscular pain in my back and neck, feel like I've been through ten rounds with Mike Tyson, would have thought the medication I'm on would have helped that too. I also feel twinges all inside my body like the chemo is attacking everything, even my tumour hurts this time.
Was hoping for a walk around the village green on Bank Holiday Monday as there was a dog show and stalls, but no chance, I would have needed a wheelchair.
I have a sore mouth and the tip of my tongue is burning. Still can't taste anything, even tried pickled onions, can just taste a hint of vinegar. I can only just taste my hideous mouth wash too, which is a bonus but I'd rather taste a yummy meal. Also have a tingling feeling in my finger tips which I'm told is Peripheral Neuropathy, just hope it doesn't get any worse.
Didn't think I was going to have nausea this time but yesterday I did and sadly was sick, I have also felt sick today but haven't been as yet. Fingers crossed that's clearing. I've managed 2 jam croissants for breakfast and some ice cream for my sore mouth. I've managed to stay constipation free until today, but that's down to the medication for pain I think so the laxatives are out. Sorry for a not so nice post but thought an update was needed. Hope you all had a nice bank holiday weekend xx
