Sorry to hear you are still feeling the effects of the FEC. It is not knowing how long the effects are going to last that I found the hardest and most frustrating part.
I found that eating what I felt like rather than what I would normally eat helped. It was often salty foods although I craved roast pumpkin and broccoli too! I nearly drove everyone mad sending them out to get my latest craving. I tended to eat small amounts but very often. I found this helped more than the medication after the first 3 days.
I sometimes felt a liitle nausea until about day 10. I found walking helped also. Drinking very cold water helped me too. I always felt really good for a week or so before the next round and made sure I packed lots of good times into that week. I would spend my not so good days planning for what to do when I felt better.
It is a bit of a roller coaster ride. You feel better one day then not good the next as you are discovering. Just make the most of the good ones and veg out on the not so good ones. I concentrated on using any energy I had to prepare good food and go for a 30 minute walk. Anything else was a bonus. You really have to just go with it.
Hope you are feeling better soon. Take care. Deanne xxoo
