I realized this afternoon, that I was incredibly tired. This is not an uncommon side effect of my infusion, so I thought nothing if it and just kept on keeping on. Then like a light, I was out, sitting up in a chair. I fell asleep – like in a narcoleptic 3 seconds! When I woke up, I knew I was sick. I felt pain in every joint and muscle of my body, even my hair hurt! I felt freezing cold, was shivering, my throat was sore, and my eyes were burning. It was so sudden. Everything at once.
So now I’m wondering if I have the flu! Argh!!!! I’m miserable. Good thing I made chicken soup two days ago. It’s hopefully going to help ease this crud. If I am much worse tomorrow I will need to make a call to my doctor since I got my infusion yesterday and it can have immunosuppressant effects. Ugh!
As I wrote yesterday, stress has consumed my life so much in the past two days that today I am paying for it badly.
My eyesight has suffered horribly for it. I am seeing blurry and patchy and my right eye is really bad. At least my laptop has a cool thing on it where I can enlarge all the fonts on these pages with one click of my touch pad.
I had to own up to my eye issues and call my neurologist who immediately gave me my verdict of…
5 days of IV steroids
This has put a little huge dent in my plans this weekend. My youngest’s party which was supposed to be going on this Saturday afternoon, but is currently postponed until April. I just physically cannot make this party work in two days especially if I can’t see well and am on heavy steroids. Plus I don’t want to have a nurse come out to the house and infuse me in the middle of my son’s birthday party.
I am so ready to be feeling normal and stable. Stable is a word that means the world to me right now. Let’s hope 5 days of IV steroids will work their magic on me.
