itchy night

gahhhhhh only managed to get one hour sleep last night had the itchies real bad so just gave up and got up.
gonna make a wallyworld run (out of canned dog food).
i'm curently taking urso 500mg 2 times a day, cholestyramine 2 times a day and atarax 50 mg at bed time for the itching.
this had been one of the worst nights for itchine in a longgggg time.
we have a great dane ( black female) english mastiff ( tan male)
golden retriever ( very old female) and 8 cats, so animal food runs are an almost daily thing for us.
i'm trying to talk the wife into letting me breed the dane and mastiff together, i have seen pictures of the mix and they look awsome.
guess after the wally run i will try and get a nap( we both work at the same hospital and same shift, 12 hour nights)
since the coffee is ready i'll have a cup and get dress and head out.
ya'll have a great day see ya later.

I just wrote you this whole long response and somehow...I lost it...I hate when that happens...and I was sounding so witty...teeheee
Well, I'll try again....I surely know what you mean about the hair thing....I cut mine(also long and blonde) right before the tx...cause I was sure that I would loose mine...my nurse assured me....da###N her..hhahahaha.....anyway I started using Nioxin about a month before tx and I think that must be why....anyway I better find some wood to knock on....hhahahha...I went for the short"pixie"look......my sides have been relatively mild (compared to others here) until about a month ago....I don't know if it's cause my WBC went way down...or the neupogen I started taking...or just Tx at this stage of the game....One minute I have all this energy and the next....I feel like I've been ran over by the"truck" everyone keeps talking about...I also started getting reallllllly bad head aches that would last for dayyyyyyssssss.....does it seem like I'm exaggerating....hhahahaha...really I'm not. After Christmas and then again after New Year...I could not get out of bed for almost 3 days....I felt like such a loooooser.....bad mommmy and grandma...I took my son and grandson to the movies and felt sooo bad after...I couldn't drive home....we live 30 to 45 minutes from town.Had to go to my daughters..who was closer...and lie down until my SO came and got me.
Anyway...I felt better yesterday...got up at 4:30 am....but could not go to sleep again until 4:30 am this morning...24 hours later...these meds.....or I'm going bonkers....teee heee

My shot night is Monday so I'm right before you...it will be great to have a shot buddy :)...I'm so glad you wrote in...I'll be watching for you...take care, berlynn

Oh, my gosh!!!!  Indiana...that was soooo funny!!!!  Are you always that creative....or is it the "drugs"?? In any case, you are entertaining me BIG TIME......between you and Ringading...I think you guys could write a book!!!

berlynn...thanks for the welcome.  You are not alone in feeling crazy.   I am doing 31/48 tonight.....and you know, this is my third tx "series"...and the shots are still a "mind" thing.  I always have to psych myself up for the plunge....  I have my days of extreme misery and blues.....I just do my crying and tell myself that crying is a good thing for that moment.  You know that the drugs are doing "their thing" when I realize that I am enjoying my misery....tee hee...this site really helps me when I am really down.....the info is "eye opening" (more info than the DR. can give re: sx) and many times very humorous....I have hairloss too...my hair WAS finally looking the way I liked...long, blond...down to my waist...I lost so much I had to "bob" it......even tho it is only hair, as a woman....it has really been difficult for me to feel my "sexy ol self".....I "wear alot of hats"...both physically (for my hair) and how I present myself to the world...sometimes (most times) I just do not want to mingle with people....I can hardly wait until "I am back"...it DOES COME BACK....remember...one day you will "magically" feel a shift.....(after tx completion) I think depression is normal because these sx make us feel so badly......we wonder if our life will always be this way........I have been extremely exhausted since I started treatment.....have been "just lying around" ....aside from the other sx (stabbing eye pain, LOTS of itching, sleeping, no taste for food....etc, etc.....) I just STARTED getting moments of wanting to clean the house, go outside.....make something to eat...blah blah  that is exciting to me.......little "time pockets" of energy...I just have to remember not to over do it.........get out of breath quickly. berlynn, what day do you do your shots???  I am Tuesday evening.....usually between 11Pm and midnight.....I feel like I  have a "compadre" now (31/48).....I will think of you when I do my shot....it will probably make it easier now that I have a "shot buddy"......To all:  sorry for taking up so much space.............I am rambling again...sorry
