I'm quite resilient and thought I could cope with being at work. I managed ok for the first few weeks, but the drugs took their toll on me. The Cyclophosphomide for me used to wear me down until the dexamethazone kicked in. I ended up go off work as it was just too much for me. The doctors were planning to change my meds during Christmas last year where I wouldn't be on the Dex fortunately I convinced him to keep me on them during the Christmas week as they were my up days. They effect people in different ways and once I got used to them I knew what to expect on which day... Happpy or Sad days.<br /><br />The side effect of the other tables made me swell up and come out in a rash all over. It took ages to discover what was causing it and it wasn't until I was having my transplant that I discovered it was the allopurinol to stop gought! Once I'd stopped all the other tablets I was ok after anti-histamines to get rid of the swelling.<br /><br />As I said though we are all different and I hope your treatment goes OK. Just bear with it and keep smiling ...ok you can have a cry now and again on your down days and blame the tablets, I know I did.<br /><br />:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11246073836963057886noreply@blogger.com
