Am having a bad day!

So I was diagnosed on the 10 of Feb with BC since then have had double mastectomy with sentinel node biopsy on the 9th of March and had to go back in to get more nodes out on the 23rd. 11 nodes out altogether with 4 effected so all clear for treatment. Have had a lot of weird pain since the last op. Strange nervey feeling kinda like being tasered and a horrible feeling under my skin like there are creepy crawlies under there. Last night was shit got hardly any sleep because of it. Feels like what I imagine a junkie feels like when they need a hit. Any suggestions on how to ease this feeling? Am also constipated because of the stupid painkillers need suggestions for that too please and to top it all off I have my first chemo session on Friday which is the 1 year anniversary of my husbands chopper crash that he survived but our good friend and pilot didn't. It's all too much this week. Sorry for the rant but am sitting here in tears and needed to get it off my chest.

    @lgray3911 Perfectly understandable to have a bad day or bad days for that fact!! Sometimes there just arent any positives in the midst of where you are sitting in a particular moment. The strange tasered like feeling you talk about is definitely the nerves, they can zip and zap you for quite some time on and off, I remember it happening just spasmodically over many months, but not enough that it worried me. So any medication for nerve pain would be good, Im not aware of any as am drug sensitive and cant take much uuugh LOL. Constipation? pear juice is great failing that Coloxyl tablets I used were good. Im so sorry to hear of the chopper crash and the loss you are feeling, but am so so happy that your husband survived. It is alot all at once, so I say one thing at a time, and just go with however you feel, I found allowing myself to feel the worst helped me to get up the next day and tackle the next thing. Theres no right or wrong, but we get it!!! Hang in there Hugs Melinda xo
