Hello all
Been a while, just had a read of messages and thought I'd comment. Two years past chemo, 14 mnths (I think) past hercepton. Given up on "getting back to normal", still working out what ...
Thanks for the seasick warning as I was thinking of accepting a boat ride out to fishing. I wouldn't want to end up like a drama queen and spoil everyone's day out.
I have been taking vitamin D lately as my blood test last time said it was a bit low. My son has adult eczema and he has started the vitamin D as well and his skin actually seems to be improving a bit so there might be something in that idea?
Yes winter sucks and add to that peeling coats off every hour or so for a hot flush, it does get tedious to live with. Perhaps that's what sucks my energy away before I even get to exercising? I guess we just have to lower our expectations and do what we can when we can.
I have crappy nights sometimes sleeping and also resort to a nap in the day sometimes as its just unrealistic for me to try and soldier on with no energy. I get far more done after a bit of a kip. I don't dwell too much on the not sleeping well at night although I do just bear it and stay in the bed. No pacing around the house or I get in that habit and it makes sleeping worse.
In the morning I wake up and am just thankful that hey I have another day to live that I might not have had without cancer treatment.
