Well, it continues to confuse me. There seems to be no rhyme nor reason although I think the link to this week and 2 weeks ago is both weeks I stopped the Capecitibine for a few days. Interesting how this never affected me last year. Anyway this week I am again bloated, constipated and with back pain. I really am not sleeping well this week either. Back to strange positions and such just to get an hour or two here and there.
Yvonne recommended I go off the Capecitibine for a few days again to give my hands and feet a rest. I don't why. They are lovely and swollen, bright red and cracking and peeling, again! That is the second time this treatment they have peeled.
Along with taking everything I can to relieve the constipation I decided yesterday more water was needed. I normally have about 2 litres per day but yesterday I had closer to 3. In addition to this during the night each time I woke (which is pretty often) I had some, almost an extra 1/2 litre.
The result, what I had hoped for, movement at the station. This has certainly ease my back pain too. Woohoo I might sleep tonight. The downside is my hands, calves and feet are even more swollen than usual. It is always give and take.
OK. I waited overnight to complete this one. It seemed all was good until about 10.30 last night. I'm not 6
sure exactly what I did but my back started spasming and continued until about 3.30am. A lot of pain and not much sleep for most of the night. I'm seeing the Osteo again today to sort out the back.
More news to come.
