Anyone else get grumpy??
I am so irritable at the moment with everything and everyone!!
Don’t like being like this!
Anyone else get grumpy?
Half way through chemo feel alone and lost.
im going to say, you are at what i found the most stressful stage, the hair, the worries, the rage and the feeling sick. the lack of patience and everything. the taste buds, you are dealing with a lot. be kind to yourself, accept that the grumpy is not really in your control and tell people that you are grumpy, but its not personal and steroid induced.
and for steroids i took mine late afternoon, so first in am,then probably around 4 pm. try to set a calming sleep routine maybe, a sleepy tea and a book or somethingyou enjoy quietly
it seems we are all given different advice! My nursing team told me to categorically not take any steroids after midday as they would interfere with sleep. I was told to take with breakfast and lunch. Jax007 it might be worth asking your oncology team about when to take steroids to avoid sleep problems. Xxxx
