Since switching to the Revlimid, Lovenox and once a week Dex, it's quite a bit different schedule and routine, normally we only go to St. George twice a month, once to get the Arida bone medicine that is still intravenous in Dr. Te's office and thence once to visit with Dr. Te to go over the blood results to see how I'm doing.
I've played around a little and found that if I take the Dex late Sunday night before bedtime, it will keep me moving through all of Monday and through most of Tuesday which gives me two nearly complete work days before I start losing time to fatigue on Wednesdays and more on each Thursday afternoon. I'm hoping this round that this routine will help me battle the fatigue more than the first round when by the 3rd week it took me down most days and I didn't get a full day at work for about 1-1/2 week.
I didn't know how I would adjust to it, but I have a great respect for anyone that has to give themselves a shot each day. The Lovenox has become a chore I do each day that starts with a pinch.
Any excuse will work, but there are basically two reasons I don't blog on a regular basis, first because the routine if quite boring and other than a little heartburn, not too much happens and second because the fatigue hits me and I don't have the energy or ambition to look at my computer. I will try to do better, especially as things get closer to Salt Lake.
