Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 When do you start feeling sick? I had to move my shots to Thursday after work because mine didn’t start hitting me until Friday afternoon that way & I’d be OK by Monday. Don’t think every week will be like last week. Sometimes you just have a bad week. I know there’s a stomach flu going around down here, too.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Get your bloodwork done to see if your white and red count are down.If they are they might have to reduce the amount of pills you are taking for treatment.Remember when you take the Boost or Ensure make sure it has no iron in it.Also see you phanacist and ask him for 1000mg B12 tablets with 5mg of folic acid in them.Take two in the morning and let them DISOLVE UNDER YOUR TOUNGUE AND THEY WILL HELP BUILD UP YOUR PHATIGUE.If your red count is to low Procrit will help and if your white count is too low Epogen will take care of that.Please write this down and see your doctor.You might also have the flu,but please get checked.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 , Does your work provide your health insurance? If so, you really must check into whatever the company/govt can do to protect your health insurance at this time. I have a small company and have provided FMLA to employees before. It's not easy but it's a good thing. I'll be gone over the weekend but I'll be thinking of you. Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Hi ~~ I have discovered that ginger has become my new best friend! At home my "ginger of choice" is the actual ginger root itself that my honey so lovingly grates for me. A pinch of that is typically works and generally takes the nausea away. For those times when I am on the go, I found some "Crystalized Ginger" at the health food store (Whole Foods) and it is very helpful. It is ginger that is lightly coated with sugar. Ginger ale works well too. The ginger tea works too but I find I'm not usually patient enough to wait for the water to boil :-). If those don't work I resort to "Pepto Bismal" which the doc approved. I think I'm going to get some chewable ones to have with me when I'm not at home. The real trick for me has been to catch it at the first sign. Catching it early seems to help. Also, eating every 2-3 hours seems to help keep it at bay too. If you're dehydrated your sides will be worse. Get that gallon of water in! The doc says this is especially important the day you do your shot. I drink about a liter every three hours to break it up. I'm very blessed at the tiredness has not hit me. Anyway, hang in there tx buddy! amanda ponder wrote: I do my shot on Fridays ,I am lucky I don't have to work weekends ,but I am having a hard time going to work ,I am so nausea and tired ,I was feeling fine all last week ,but then I stared feeling worse day by day .Thank you too all who give here wisdom . .
