I’m doing OK tonight. I took a long nap this afternoon and that helped. I get tired in the afternoon.
There is one GOOD thing about my recent chemo treatment. The Gemzar, although it knocks me down, doesn’t seem to affect my taste buds. That means I’m still eating well.
I’m experiencing something that’s a little strange. I’ve had it for quite a while; it’s just now that I think I can describe it. Every once in a while, I get a feeling as if a very mild electrical current is flowing through my body. The feeling last for about thee or four seconds and then passes. The frequency is a couple of times an hour.
It’s not painful or anything, it’s just there. I suspect it’s the chemo whacking my nervous system.
Well, I’m off to bed. Maybe tomorrow I can make it into the office.

every day to become healthy.
May God Be with you.

It's good that your taste buds are better. I used to take Tedral back in the 60s and 70s, when I had an asthma attacked. I would have the same reaction that you have with the Gemzar. It was very strange as I could actually feel the blood flow through my body. It would last for the first several hours after I took the medicine. It's something you really can't explain. It didn't hurt, but it really felt strange.
