It's 12am and I'm awake. I have a headache and insomnia. They said the cortisone that they put in my IV can cause insomnia. The headache is from the last drug they gave me, cytoxin. The headache started when the cytoxin was going in. I have spent the last 4 hours taking this pill and that looking for the right combination. I even took a nausea pill since I had a touch of nausea. It helped.I also put on some
Meditation music on my iPhone. It was nice and relaxing. But it didn't put me to sleep.
Being the good nurse that I am, I created a medication chart the last time. Pretty much the same thing happened. The last med I took the last time was my old standby Syroquel. It pretty much guarantees a good night sleep. Except when I have had chemotherapy.
Eventually it all caught up with me and I got some sleep. Hopefully the same thing will happen tonight.
I'm carefully keeping the med chart. I have to be careful. And I want to know what works.
In which I take a journey, searching for the me I want to be. My previous Blog, Michael My Son http://danielmyson.blogspot.com/ chronicles the death of my beloved son Michael in June 2011. What followed was grief that found no peace. In October of 2011 I diagnosed with Lymphoma. I believe that it was the result of my grief over Michael.This blog is about my journey through cancer and beyond. / Older posts on right.
