Hi Shazinoz
Have just had round 2 and feel so much better today (we halved the steroids) and I had a premed of another anti nausea drug to block what the steroids wont. (forgot to note the name down).
I have been given some wonderful headgear, and I have two polar fleece bands. The problem is that synthetics (last round) gave me that travel sickness feeling (hope it doesnt last) and all these lovely gifts are synthetic. But I shall work around it.
With the fatigue the advice seems to be go with the flow. I have been "resting" nearing on an hourly basis with round 1 although it eased in the last 3 days, so I had family over for early dinner on one night and then went straight to bed - that was exhausting but fun. I also went to the shops for the first time on Wednesday , spent about two hours and then came home and "rested" awhile on my bed. But i did enjoy getting to the shops even just to run errands.
Moogoo has a psoriasis/eczema cream which has received rave reviews, so I got a little tube of that too. I understand that whilst not prone to skin conditions my skin wont be able to balance itself so I may get issues. I was put onto moogoo by a friend whose babies have terrible skin problems, it is all organic ingredients. I will be patch testing first. Otherwise like you i will use sorbolene and gylcerine.
Best of luck with round 3.
