Instead of my regular 4 day recovery, I have spent 6 days pretty much in bed, eating only cucumbers and melons. At some point I couldn't even talk on the phone with my parents, who called to check in.
By Wednesday I crawled out of bed to go to my acupuncture appointment, and as soon as she saw me, she said that the whites of my eyes were the wrong tint and I should be barely functioning. She said I have to eat proteins, meat or beans, otherwise I will not survive.
After my now regular three and a half hour session, I got home smelling of tiger balm and forced myself to eat eggs and a can of beans....
Not sure if it was just getting out of bed, or the long acupuncture session, or the fateful can of beans that evening, but I had, for the first time during this AC chemo, an almost regular night and woke up functioning normally the next day, Again, the first in this cycle.
So, not sure what did the trick, but I'll take it.
