It is in the sides of my head when I try to take a bite of food. Size doesn't matter; it can be a raisin but when I bite into the food the pain goes up from my jar to the top of my head. I have been having bad headaches the last couple of weeks and my blood pressure (which ordinarily was super low) is now up to 160/95. The chemo is horrible but we really don't have any choice. I cannot imagine getting through the next 6 cycles (having just completed the first 6 and feeling like this has taken forever). Hang in there, Len. It should subside. It is my practice to put my head down and close my eyes real tight to squeeze the dust out when I have that type of problem. Well, now when I do that the neurapathy feels like my head is splitting. It really hurts real bad. Verta sais " just don't squeeze your eyes together " . It's an old habbit. Len --- Ingrid Lowe wrote: --------------------------------- You both are a beautiful couple!!!!!

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 Thank you Ingrid and thank you to Pat and Ingrid for doing your thing with the emails I am having a real hard time doing anything today. The neurapathy in my hands has about made them useless and my brain is not working well at all. I even developed a new neurapathy. When I was out in the garage I was cutting and sanding wood and the dust got in my eyes.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Len, How many treatments have you had? Mine is getting REAL bad, but it's after 11 rounds. Almost a knockout.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 , I know that the chemo has given you such HELL!!!!! But now its the count down. I understand how each cycle you dread it. I just wish so much that it will go faster for you. The uphill climb is rough since it seems like such a long way to go. But there is an end to it. And your getting so very close to it now. It gets better from here on in. Your a strong lady to get this far. Maybe the side affects will lesson. Some of the stuff did for me. Not going to lie. Some got harder since the affects took longer to subside. I am Praying for you!!!!!!! Love YOU!!! Hang in There!!!!
