I have already given my spiel of the various and sundry side effects I have with chemo. I will not re-hash that, but will update. Insomnia is still horrific. I am now taking two separate pills to help me sleep. They sort of work. I still turn red, just not as bright. I have lost my hair, even the stubble. I grow real fine ‘milk mustache’ type hair that I buzz off every week or so. My head is very smooth. I have also lost hair in places that I was told I would not lose hair! My eyebrows and eyelashes are thinner. I have lost hair on my arms, legs, knuckles (yes, I did have hairy knuckles), hands, and other regions of my anatomy as well. I really did not think hair loss would this traumatic! Even the cat is laughing at how much I shed!
Multiple chemo trips does take its’ toll. I am very tired, don’t have much energy, but I can’t sleep. So, I piddle around the house and get a little done, catch up on some stuff, and may get larger tasks done later in the week and generally post run-on sentences. Debbi claims I am irritable and cranky, but I still think that is just her. 😀
