Wow... in week 44... got my monthly shipment on ice yesterday... same delivery guy as always... gave him a 20 because this is my last! Friday night starts week 45. I'm very glad because the sides are worsening in a race with the end of treatment. - White blood cells now closer and closer to the danger zone, but doc thinks I can last out the next 4 weeks without adding a med to deal with that. - Thyroid function still not compensated after trying 50mcg daily Synthroid for a month, then 75mcg daily Syntrhoid for a month, so now it's 100mcg daily. - Full prescribed dosage of the Wellbutrin leads to intense 3-day migraines with nausea, lowering the dose helps, but lowering the dose by 20% leads back to mild but noticeable depression (recalling the old joke, Peg/Riba combo therapy won't kill you but at times you may wish it did <g>). - Vision took another small dip, but this one has pushed me into reading glasses. I should have gotten my prescription adjusted way back in treatment but I thought I could just deal. Anyway, this is "how I spent my summer vacation" for 2007. And now I'm started my trip around the diamond - it's a long hit - rounding first base, not stopping... >Wow... in week 44... got my monthly shipment on ice yesterday... same >delivery guy as always... gave him a 20 because this is my last!

The ball is still rattling around in the corner :-) Don't go running out to get new prescription lenses because your eyes aren't gonna stay where they are now. It's entirely likely the vision thing will resolve itself within a few months of ending the treatment, leaving you with pretty much whatever vision you'd have had sans tx. Cheers - and remember, "It's all downhill from here!" ;-) /greyhackles > Don't go running out to get new prescription lenses because your eyes aren't > gonna stay where they are now.

If I knew then what I know now, then 6 months ago it would have been worth a temporary contact lens prescription adjustment (since you go through those anyway). I wouldn't at this point, like you say. > Cheers - and remember, "It's all downhill from here!" ;-) As I go rollin', rollin' home.... >And now I'm started my trip around the diamond - it's a long hit - >rounding first base, not stopping... Don't forget to slide when you get to home plate. Don |
