Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 I wish I had contact with my chidhood friends ( two of them) But when I moved to Nevada I lost all contact ... So I live out of the state of my childhood and now depend on my online friends . But for the most part most of those I knew in my childhood were losers so it is no great loss .. I do miss being near my family and life in the desert gets lonely , but on treatment its the online friends that are the ones who get me through it . Friends and family all seem to dissapear when one is sick and in need of care . LOL I will find out my treatment start date on Thursday , and then it all begins again .hehe Davies <lisamarie64@...> wrote: Liz, I have to agree with you - we can never have too many friends.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 I remember being cold all the time , and I mean cold !! My husband and children just about make the house run without me . There is not much I can eat while on treatment , I get taste perversion really badly but my husband will stockup on the bubblegum flavored popsickels and gatorade . I tend to get sick every shot like it was the first and my white blood cells by the end of the first week are under 2.0 . Which means I get to have injections of neupogen and all the long bone pain that goes with it , LOL Oh joy oh joy , I just cant wait ...rofl I have a script for Zophran because I still suffer from alot of nausea , but as far as a antidepressant ..........not needed , I usually get lonesome and not sad so I get online and chat . But I know that each time I treat it may be different so I will probably have a script for andi'd just in case I start walking around the house crying ,hehe . Your the best , take care .........if ya'll dont hear from me in the morning its cause i didnt have a chance before we head home .gail <gaila@...> wrote Alright hon you know what to expect the first night of the first shot. Severe chills,etc.I felt like someone dumped me in the fridge a few hours after the first shot.I needed tons of blankets and a hot water bottle.It only happens with the first shot.Has the doctor put you on antidepressents yet.I wasn't allowed them cause I was on a trial but most of the rest of the group had them and it made a real difference during treatment.You got lots of groceries in the hourse that is easy to prepare.Hope you have a blender so you can make milk shakes on the days your stomach is upset.Wish I could be there to help you and start drinking lots of water now so that you are used to it for treatment.Were here hon.

I have been reading all the post that I can over the last week or so -have been extremely busy taking care of ill Mother. Nonetheless, I couldn't help but want to say hello to you. My heart is with you Dear - I am so touched by your strenght and courage. In fact, lately I have found myself going through trials that I sometimes feel I can't handle - then I think of your strenght and it gives me strenght and courage. I just wanted to let you know that, and also to tell you that you are in my daily prayers. Keep the faith - and know that this time, could just be the "Miracle". Anyway - I just wanted to say hello and let you know that I am here and if I can help you in anyway - I would be happy to do so... May God Bless you and keep you safe on this journey.. Love, Hugs, and prayers... Marie for GoodClick here to donate to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort. for GoodClick here to donate to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 NO way ............I drink gatorade only to this day . And when I am on treatment I have to drink more of it especially since I just about stop eating food . It gives me back the electrolytes I lose from vomiting and dehydration . Plus the little bit of sugar keeps my blood sugar from getting to low ..I keep myself hydrated good , thats about the only thing I do well on treatment ,lolconnie mcclain <crochetlady1001@...> wrote: Yeah what Gail said about the water, its the number one most important thing to forceyourself to do. connie for Good Click here to donate to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 I agree on the hydration......I do a gallon of water every day. It might be the reason I have had an easy time on tx.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 The second time I treated I drank alot of water and it didnt keep me from having severe muscle pain, but when I started drinking nothing but gatorade types of drinks the muscle aches stopped being as bad. I still drink only gatorade I gave up soda .But I think it helped me cause I wasnt eating , gatorade isnt for everyone .Water is sometimes just what the doctor ordered Dick Southern <southern@...> wrote: I agree on the hydration......I do a gallon of water every day.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Gatorade is fine. It has lots of potassium in it which combats muscle cramps. It was developed by the Univ. of Miami for their football team ( hence the name gatorade) to use during summer practice when the players were getting too dehydrated from the heat and were getting alot of leg cramps. Bananas also have alot of potassium. If you are using any sort of diuretics ( potassium strippers) you have to replace it. Pharm 101. U-Mass.
