What goes up

…What goes up…..

Well, Saturday today, five days after injection, and the world is not so rosy.

I’ve been a bit  speedy this week, ‘manic’ according to my long suffering friend, who’s probably been to scared to tell me to ‘shut up’, till I came round.  I do not know whether it was a direct side effect of tx, or a reaction to Monday’s sedation, but boy, was I going!!!

Then the come down hit me Thursday night, like a ton of bricks.  All of a sudden my batteries ran out and exhaustion set in.  And then last night my eyes got worse, so so dry and sore….  It feels as if I have been wearing contacts for too long.  I have known they were dry for a couple of weeks, but controlling it with Artificial Tears from the chemist.  Since last night they have not done the trick, and driving would be now out of the question; only comfort is to keep them closed.

Maybe I have been counting my chickens and all that.
I have also noticed that I am getting very breathless; had to walk a couple of hundred yards yesterday and could not get my breath back; when I tried to breath in I just felt I was choking and my chest was rattling.

Seeing my GP on Monday and I’ll get it checked out, maybe another infection has arrived; seem to have one a month the last two years.

Going into my sixth week on Monday.  I have decided that I must pace myself and not go at it like a bull in a china shop.  Because of my symptoms I had to stop work and leave my house and move to a ground floor flat because of all the falls I was having.  I do not know how I would be coping now had I not made these adjustments prior to starting tx.
