NEW MEDS

I love my new doc.  Totally, totally gets me.  We both agreed on no narcotics.  He did say however, that if the pain is too much we may have to go that route.  I choose not to and I'm hoping it doesn't get to that point.

The new meds -
  • Capsasian, a cream to rub on my feet 3x a day.  It works on the pain on the surface and just below the surface of my feet.
  • Tramadol, a pill that I take 3x a day - 50mg per pill - It works on the brain and how the brain processes the pain.
  • Xanax, an anxiety pill.  I take 2 at bedtime.
I lost over 12lbs. - not trying, not a good sign. - My doc made me an appt. with my new oncologist for Jan. 6th.  I'm also enrolled in a sleep study for chronic insomnia but I don't know when that will start.  Some time after the 1st of the year I imagine. 

So, that's it, that's all.  I actually kept my appt. and I'm really proud of myself for that.  I was so scare and just between you, me and the fence post I am scared shitless about the up coming appts. Carol.  I don't want to die... My kids...  I can't even think about it.

Okay, nap time and then baking.  I love you bunches.
