Side effects…

…are plentyful. Now, as also expected, the day 5 wasn’t very good, but 6 is even worse. I’m experienceing lots of trouble with my night sleep, I’ feel like not rested at all. This leaves my back, muscles, bones and mind extremly tired.
Despite the anti-nausea drugs, everything in my abdomen is in brutal uproar. But the worst of all is the extreme heartburn. It’s like drinking pure acid. My tastebuds are gone, everything is as tasty as cardboard, especially all sour notes in fruit and vegies. I had a sip on red wine, gone too. It’s actually a really weird taste, it doesn’t even remind me faintly of wine. So – no desire to have a glass, whatsoever.
Today’s lab result clearly tells my white blood cell count is getting bad, so for the rest of the week, I’m getting shots to boost the production of white blood cells, without, I’m in danger for infections.
Yesterday, I still managed to be up for as long to sew me one pair of PJ bottoms, - leopard print! – Woah! Everybody needs a highlight.
