2nd day Solumedrol IV treatment 500mg 8:30am

 

Pretty much the same as yesterday. Went in ok. Some burning at site. Same terrible disgusting metal taste in mouth. Tic Tacs Peppermint help.

 

Game me 30mg Ketorolac to help with side effects especially headache. It really hurt going in at site and down into my hand.

 

I got the same headache across my head, face and down my necd, across sholder blades and down my back while getting solumedrol. Still extremely thirsty and tired.

 

Home by 10:30am. Home sweet Home!!

 

Fell asleep around 12:30pm woke up about 2:00pm. Body achy, legs and feet cramping. Feet are especially painful. Got up to use bathroom, legs...well entire body really weak and shaky. Not sure if I was just not quite awake yet. Feet so painful.

 

Tinitis, my own personal cricket orchestra inside my head is so loud. I woke up with it and it just won't let up.

 

I am nauseaus but I read that I need to eat with ketorolac and I haven't eaten much of anything. So I am going to try and eat something.

 

I almost thingk my leg pain may be a little better. The cramping is a different kind of pain. Memory seems a little better as well, or clearer.

 

Slept from 4:00pm to 5:15pm . Woke up to major leg cramping from just below butt right down to feet. Starting to get worse headache.

 

Ate some dinner and actuallly got up and about a little bit. Did a few things I needed to do. Couldn't stay up long though, headache worsened.

 

Legs are still very weak. Body is fatigued but I do seem less tired. Facial pain is improving.

 

Was having trouble with hot and cold flashes. Strange because I was just lying down.

 

Went to bed around 1:00am woke up around 4:00am. Very restless sleep. Stayed in bed fell back to sleep woke up at 6:00am. Fell in and out of sleep until about 7:00am.

 

Still excessively thirsty.

 

I do feel better. Can't explain specifically yet. Just an all over beter feeling this morning. Probably because I got some sleep last night, however restless I haven't actually stayed in bed for close to 6 hours straight in a long, long time!
