Guest guest Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Hi Everyone, wow, this was not a good infusion week. I asked them not to infuse me due to vertigo, but they insisted, and have I ever been sick. The drug makes me a bit unsure-footed, if that's a word. Not all the time, but this time definitely, and I think it had more to do with the vertigo than the drug. And the numb tongue does not want to go away this time, it is just now starting to wear off. Only this time the inside of my mouth seemed numb, or coated, weird, and definitely not conducive to eating. I was even too dizzy to do my " dizzy " exercises. I finally did them a few hours ago and am feeling better. I think maybe next week I will be more firm about not doing the infusion if I still have vertigo. In the mean time, my labs are all pretty good :wbc - 3.1; hgb - 9.5; pltl - 175, But now that I look at the rest, the ANC is only 1.8, and I was under the impression they should not infuse under 2.0????????
