New Side Effects...

My 2nd set of drugs started last week and I was told about side effects including muscle and joint pain, plus tingling in the hands & feet.

Boy oh boy - they weren't kidding. I have just spent an extremely uncomfortable weekend chasing the pains around my body with hot water bottles and ice packs. I haven't decided yet which one helps more - but perhaps the alternation is distracting.

Thankfully, the literature says it should last just a few days and today was much better than Saturday and Sunday were. I even took a T3 at bedtime last night. I haven't had one of those since a week or so after surgery. It not excruciating - it's a mild pain, or serious discomfort.

On a lighter note, when Cam was away this weekend, I got bored kicking around by myself and so I found a good way use the hair mousse that I got for Christmas... (some people are really frickin' HILARIOUS)... Yup - there's me - home alone and bored... and pulling out a can of mousse and spraying my head and photographing myself. I actually did it twice because the first time I went to take the pic and the battery was dead so by the time I got the camera plugged in for a second try, the mousse had melted off my head. I was REALLY bored....

But hey, this has got to be an improvement over the time I put a bra on my bum and took a close-up picture like it was cleavage, right? (NO - I WON'T be posting that picture - it was over 20 years ago).

WELCOME TO MY TWISTED WORLD HA HAHAHAH HAHAHA HAH HA HA HAHAHHa (my typed version of maniacal laughter).

PS - when I originally added the picture to the post, it was at the top left - and with my subject line saying 'New Side Effects', it looked like the mousse was a new side effect of chemo... funny - but confusing - so I moved the pic to a more appropriate location.
