Best Of

To all of my fellow injectees who suffer along with me each month - Wish I could faint until it was over and then have someone wake me and send me on my way!

Going to try this again. Lost two previous attempts at posting earlier:

@tougholdcrow - Thank you so much for the sympathies and good wishes. They are much appreciated, especially today. I am truly hoping this is something I can eventually adjust to and carry on with. I'm also really glad that I can still take my walks, even if they are somewhat shorter.

@soldanella - I really appreciate hearing about your experience and the dose reduction. I'm currently taking 3000 mgs a day (divided between morning and evening), and am already on the one week on, one week off schedule. The oncologist said that is a low dose, and that he was prescribing it for me, because I have get a lot of side effect problems in general. I don't know if you can go to a yet lower dose. I'm a little hesitant to ask him about it for fear that he might stop it, and it's my understanding that there isn't much more out there for me, if this doesn't work, so I want to give it a good shot. I'll just keep my fingers crossed that things go well at the appointment tomorrow, and that maybe I just need to hang in there longer and that things might smooth out then.

@livinglifenow - I so know what you mean about how we are all trying to stay as healthy as we can, and don't need these "downers"! I am far from the only one that this sort of thing happens to, and I feel bad for all of us in that regard. The old "not fair!" thing. Thanks for the good wishes for my appointment tomorrow. I'm really hoping for the best. I did get about a half hour walk in today, but it was only half my usual. Still a real positive though!
