Post treatment

The evening after the first treatment I didn't feel too badly. The anti-nausea drugs helped a lot except that one of them made me very edgy, well actually crazy. I was vacuuming my laundry room at 10 o'clock at night. I was exhausted but I couldn't sit still.

The first 6 days after the treatment I mainly felt queasy and thankfully never vomited. I had to stop taking the anti-nausea drugs as they made me feel worse. I ate small meals, frequently and drank lots of fluids. The indigestion and constipation have been really the most uncomfortable side effects of all the drugs. Exercising helps. Nights are still difficult. I haven't really been sleeping through the night and take lorazepan which helps me at least get to sleep.
