It looks like the worst of my side effects is going to be from the steroids and bone marrow shot. The steroids leave me feeling bloated (hot), swollen, hyper and just icky, but only for about a day after treatment. And I've been on steroids before for asthma, so I'm kinda used to it. I thought maybe I wouldn't get the bone pain this time because it didn't set in until late last night and last time I was feeling it earlier. It's definitely not as bad this time around but it's still there. But I am prepared. I have my trusty pal, Vicodin and Mr. Heating Pad. And I know it only lasts a couple days. I also just realized I didn't get night sweats last night, thank you very much. As you know, I shaved my head last week. It hasn't fallen out 100% but it's getting patchy, which looks kinda weird. The interesting thing is I can tell it grew since last weekend, which is great because it means when my hair starts to grow back in, hopefully it will come in quickly (at least that's what my doctor told me).
I did feel a lil blue when I woke up today because it's St. Paddy's Day and while everyone is bar hopping and drinking green beer and Irish Car Bombs, I'm stuck in bed. But that just means next St. Paddy's Day, I need to do it up huge.
On the plus side, I don't need to shave my legs or under my arms and my skin has never looked better. Not a zit or line in sight!!! It does get a bit dry, but nothing a lil moisturizer can't fix!
