Tired...

Less than one minute read time.

Friday February 24th

Well it's Friday, but only just. It seems to have been a long few days since I had the T session on Tuesday. Side effects are just starting to kick in with tiredness, thick throat and tongue and my nails are hurting a bit too, I have a few muscle/ bone aches and pains, it's  bearable so far though. It's the lack of sleep and hot flushes that are making things more difficult.

It's a busy day tomorrow, Fridays always are, I'll have to see how I get on. 

Not too much to say tonight except that I am hoping that this time is going to be better than last time. 

Stop this ride...I want to get off !!!

    haha bless you, I have thought that more than a few times in the last 2 years, I have to say the good days feel REALLY good because you appreciate feeling better or a bit better, keep your chin up, I still get tired but my best advice is not to fight it but give in to it, if you can take a nap everyday then I did, sometimes I didn't sleep but I would sit and read or doze and it just gives your body a chance to recover a little - be kind to yourself.

    Hot flushes are shocking but I have a fan near my bed at night now which has helped immeasurably and I've been known to rest a cold wet flannel on my head and its amazing how that can cool your body down a little and even given you a little respite just to doze, my friend did give me some pads that you can put under your pillow or sheets and they cool things down, they do work but when you get really hot they eventually don't feel cool but might be worth a try and water spritz on your face/neck can help.

    Mine are now settling down a bit and becoming a little more sporadic (as opposed to constant) so I'm hoping that some of the above helps and your body starts settling down a little soon, I think the more relaxed you can be the better they are.

    The Odd Macdonalds chocolate shake help me with the thick throat feeling :)

    Take care of yourself
