Let`s Talk -- how was you day today !!

hello@shaz51

yes medication does make you sleepy and of course different medication and different doses affect all of us differently.

Medication that has side affects of making you feel sleepy does not assist in sending me to sleep. my mind is overactive when i lay down at night.

i have gone back to listening to flute music with sleeping tablet, antedepressant only. have cut out prn. noticing irritability but pushing through. I am a lot stronger than most people think.

i am also not fooling myself either, today is only day 3, anything could happen, i will deal with what is if and when.

Hello @Former-Member

Hi @Shaz51 and thanks for tagging me here as well. I see its quite an old thread, which you've decided to resurrect. An oldie, but a goodie. And deserving of being a featured thread this week.

Its actually been a pretty crap day all round for me, although I have been trying to think of positives and things I should feel grateful for. Hence my post to the other thread you tagged me on before.

My husband's immunotherapy treatment is on hold because of the really bad side effects he's currently experiencing. Part of his treatment to remedy these side effects (over stimulated immune system and internal organ inflamation) is steriod meds. The meds make him really angry and cause him to lash out. And his illness and delay in treatment is making him even more depressed and angry than normal. So its really difficult. One thing I know is making his temper and his side effects even worse is the fact that he refuses to give up the grog. Fact is the grog is reducing the effectiveness of his treatment. One thing leads to anyone. Very frustrating.

Lets talk! the title says. Sorry this talk ended up being a frustrated rant. Sigh.

No need to say sorry @Former-Member , sending you tender hugs my awesome friend

I feel so close to you , did you husband start with kidney disease first

my iron Ferritin is very very high and now i have to see a blood specialist about it

can you do something nice for your self my friend , we are here for you xoxoxoxo

Thanks @Shaz51. And a hug to you also.

No, my husband had kidney cancer about 8 years ago and had a kidney removed. Soon after that his remaining kidney started to deteriorate. I guess it was too much to take on the work of 2 kidneys all of a sudden. So he was diagnosed with CKD, and his kidney function has been slowly decreasing since. It doesnt help that he's also an alcoholic, which is an added burden on the kidneys.

My husbands cancer is from a melanoma he had removed about 20 months ago from his shoulder. It spread to his lungs and its for Stage IV metastatic melanoma that he is receiving the anti-cancer treatment for (immunotherapy).

I think you were born with only one kidney, is that right? Thats a blow with your Ferritin being so high, definitely not a good indicator. Do you have an appointment with the blood specialist yet?

Something nice for me? Hmmm, not sure. I watched the ladies cricket WBBL this afternoon. I follow the Sydney Sixers, and they won. So that was nice. Hubby likes the cricket too, so he watched as well. And I saw a bit of the Davis Cup tennis earlier. Unfortunately the young Aussie (Alex De Minaur) lost to Zverev (The German fellow, currently #5 in world rankings) in 5 sets. He did really well though. He's only 18, and looks like he's going to be a very good player as he matures. And a great attitude and behaviour.

Do you have anything planned for your weekend Shaz?
