Wait...I have five more minutes

So, it probably seems a bit mysterious about my symptoms and my well being during chemo.  So, I will try to lay it out there in a top 10 list... please laugh a little, I did!!

1. Nausea.  I feel like I should throw up at any moment and don't.  Then eat 10 minutes later. Giminey!
2. Fatigue.  I feel like I need to sleep all the time, but can't because my mind is too busy for that! :)  When I do sleep, I dream that I need to sleep. :)
3. Mouth.  It's as if I ate nails and spit them out.  And the nails left my mouth rough and metallic. Then eat 10 minutes later.
4. Throat.  Imagine swallowing the nails and having rough scars that make it difficult to swallow, couple that with dryness.
5. Bones.  Google Neulasta shot symptoms.  Don't tell me what it says.  I have 10 sheets of paper listing out side effects that I will not read!  I do know I feel like I've been hit by a truck for a few days.
6. Eyes.  My eye lids stick together sometimes.  It's almost as if I have a tick trying to open them back up.  So they are dry, yet they tear up easy.
7. Heartburn, loud random hiccups.  Indigestion all the time.
8. Hair.  None on my head.  Hair on my airms.  What's up with that?
9. Energy level.  It takes 6 times the energy to do something that I would have normally done.  Annoying.
10. Dizziness.  No- not cause I still consider myself blonde!  From the 10 (exaggerated) anti nausea meds.  Could you imagine these symptoms without the meds!

Other than that, I am doing well.  I am maintaining my weight.  I can't be out too much due to catching colds, germs, flu, especially during this time of year.  I go to Walmart and wear gloves. :)  I may do this in years to come.  I try to be as normal and consistent with my routine and energy as possible for my son.  I think this really helps him.   So far, so good. 

Thank you for the prayers, good thoughts, love and support.  Love from me to you!  Amanda :)
