The good:
Let's call it my sense of humor. Without it, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't share a blog like this one! TMI? ( Too Much Information) perhaps, but only because I have been asked about my side effects and I think, "Do I get honest here?"
The bad:
I am honest! I might be shy and private at times, but being honest has never been one of my pit falls
The ugly:
Acne - not just a few breakouts - it's like something I've never experienced. Looks more like the chicken pox - on my face. Just one next to the other and even some you didn't know they were there and you look an hour later in the mirror and you have ten more. I'm a "picker", so telling me to leave them alone is torture.
Yes - I am taking med for this.
Rash - sometimes on my stomach, then on one side of my chest, it just moves around, but never really just goes away. Could be the sun, a lotion, or just heat that causes it with the medication.
Yes - I'm taking meds for this.
Diarrhea - (yes i said the word, I mean does it get any more honest than this?)
Yes - I'm taking meds for this.
Mouth soars - on my gums, inside my lips, even down my throat, drinking even water is difficult, drinking anything else is painful. Brushing my teeth is intense.
Yes - I'm taking meds for this.
Dehydration - because of number 3 and 4 (or because of number 2, hahahhaaaa get it? Number 2?)
Yes - I'm taking meds for this. (well getting iV fluids)
I am just pumping myself full of medications for the side effects of these medications!
My scan isn't until Aug 19 to even see if this is working/I'm responding.
Until then -
