Day 2 through 5 of AP treatment

0 Recommendations

Well it is day 5 of my treatment and I have not posted any updates.
Tuesday (day 2)300mg was pretty good. I had more energy than I have in a few years. That is the only change.

Wed (day 3)600mg not so good. Very very tired and my i.v line had to be change due to an infection at the injections site. The i.v was then place in the crease of my right arm at the elbow. It sucked there!!! Couldn’t bend my arm without a lot of pain. No change in any of my symptoms.

Thurs (day4) 600mg Lots of nausea today. Still very tired. No changes in symptoms.

Friday (day 5) 900mg Not good. Had to call the nurse first thing in the morning, to come change the i.v location again. Was put in left forearm. Did first treatment of 900mg. Lots of nausea again. Spent most of the day in bed sleeping. Went to do evening dose and my i.v line was bad. I couldn’t get the flush to even go through. Nurse came out at 9pm to move it once again. Left forearm again. No changes in symptoms.

Saturday (day 6) 900mg. Woke up this morning and i.v site is not feeling very well. Hoping that the flush goes well this morning. If not will have to have i.v replaced AGAIN. I am really beginning to hate needles. LOL
