Well just couldn't get myself out of bed today so took the whole day off to just sleep. Felt normal again for a few hours in the afternoon. I've only worked 10 hours in a week. The sick leave I have built up this year is running out. Seeing Rads Onc at 9 am for 3 month check up if I can manage to drag myself to the cancer centre. Have booked my first ever session with acupuncturist to see if that helps. Honestly, I would stand in a bucket of monkey pee if I thought it would make me feel better. Have spent the last hour lying here with moderate tummy pains that are finally easing off. It's as if I have had a HUGE night out with excessive drinking, so I think something must be going on. My son is taking MTX for his severe eczema. He is immune compromised and has caught a bug so maybe I caught something off him. We're keeping an eye on his temp, if it goes up we'll be straight off to the ER. Might ask for the two check ups for the price of one deal while I'm there.
hey @Brenda5 I had a heart check a few months back with the whole 24 hr halter monitor and all was good. @adean
I totally understand the whole 'trying to be normal bit'.
@TonyaM the doc didn't comment about the high billirubin being a cause for my tiredness. She did say if I was not better in a week she wants me to have a CT scan as a precaution. I've had 11 CTs in 2 years. Not keen to have another one, so might ask for liver ultrasound first as you suggest. The last one of those I had showed fatty liver - that was before I lost 32 kgs so maybe it it a little better now.
hey Kath @primek Nanna naps at the moment are pretty much all I'm doing. Don't know how high the level was, Doc just said high. My brother has had gallstones are they hereditary? I honestly don't think this is anything like liver cancer. Just wish whatever it is to bugger off again, so life returns to normal.
Thanks ladies
