It's all a bit strange...
It's been a tough few days, hard to explain and total lack of motivation... I will talk about the effects so far in the next few days but I need to be in a better head-space first.
Thankfully, the infusions went well; 6 hours of a biosimilar called Truxima which is rituximab, but cheaper! No reactions on the day and since then I've spent much time asleep but struggling with nausea and reflux and ugh ugh ugh.
More than that though, I simply don't feel right... very tearful, a feeling that I just want to scream but I don't know what about... the antisickness meds help but ugh, just feel sick, low and rather grumpy. So, 'nuff said, I shall resume when I feel a tad better. Just pleased to say as yet I have no whiskers, cheese cravings or tail growing!
Thank you to my fella who is putting up with his more-than-normal-weird-woman, thanku SJC for always being ready to make a cuppa (lots of peppermint tea) and thanku to those who may read this - I am hoping to feel semi-normal soon. Next infusion 8th August... then it's a wait and see, hoping it will work on my crazy overactive busted immune system.
