Feeling so much better!

This round was much harder than I anticipated. I know it's supposed to get compoundingly worse, but damn! I was so much more nauseous. I ended up taking the Compazine for nausea, which makes to drowsy. Swapping one side effect for another!

Yesterday I had my follow up with my homeopathic doc in CLT (not to be confused with my homeopathic oncologist in PHZ) and he gave me some meds for the nausea. In less than 8 hours I was feeling a gazillion times better, and today I didn't even take my Zofran. If you're keeping up on my meds, Zofran is for nausea, with mild drowsiness and Compazine is for nausea, with massive drowsiness. I never needed the Compazine the first round. I've been a touch nauseous today, especially after overindulging on the sushi tonight, but I can handle it.

Yesterday I wasn't sure I'd be able to go to work (thank gawd it was a banker's holiday!) but I woke up today at 5:30am and was ready for the day!

Some folks have asked if I've kept up with the juicing. Sadly, the answer is no. I feel guilty since I know it's good for me, I just can't do it alone. I've been meaning to put together a list of things that I'd like help with so when folks ask if they can do anything for me, I can whip out the list. Be forewarned people! If you ask if you can help me, I may actually give you a list to choose from. And juicing is on that list!!!!

Here's the list so far:
- juicing
- cleaning the litter box
- taking out the garbage
- hanging artwork (I never got around to doing that!)
- cooking a good meal for leftovers (like a good soup. I heart soup)
- chopping veggies for snacks
- laundry (bed sheets in particular! I hate folding those things)
- cleaning out my closet and moving the clothes that don't fit to the other closet

Damn, and that's just off the top of my head!

During this round, my body has been craving fresh fruits and veggies. Seriously, the only thing that made me feel less nauseous was fruit. Crazy! I guess it shows how your body really tells you what it needs. Weird.

My other side effects has decreased slowly. I still can't hold anything cold, but its better. Same for drinking cold liquids. I having tingling in hands and feet every once in a while, but no biggie. The worst thing was definitely the nausea. It's like a really bad hangover, without the party the night before. What a gyp, huh?

More soon!
