Post chemo hangover

The first night after chemo is the worst. That said, it isn't all that bad.  When I got home I had a light supper and settled in to my 'den'. I have my bedroom all cozied up. I love to cuddle into my bed with my computer my iPad, my TV and my furry friends and just chill. I usually have two cats sprawled out waiting to be petted. Thats why I can't knit in bed.

With each chemo session, I have had a headache that starts later in the day. The nurses give me tyenol. In the afternoon the last drug I get is cytoxine. It runs in over an hour. It has an effect on my sinuses. First I feel sneezy and congested. The nurse gave me some claritin.  It lasts for 24 hours. Next time I will take it in the morning.
We left the clinic at 3. It was a smooth drive home. Light traffic.
When I got home I had a headache. Not horrible. Just annoying.
As the evening wore on I felt slightly nauseated. I have an arsenal of medications for the various symptoms. Im trying to come up with a plan to take the right thing at the right time so that sleep will come at the right time.
Long story short, I tried to lie down at 10:30. But it felt like I was going to vomit. So I sat up in bed and propped myself up with pillows. I imagined my stomach relaxing  and allowing all of the medications into my body so they could do their jobs.  I felt my body relax and open up to receive the medications I had given it. At about 11:30 I was able to lie down and sleep.
This morning I feel relaxed and dopey. I'll take relaxed and dopey.

No wonder I feel a bit icky. After this. I get a total of 4
different drugs over the course of 6 hours
