My oncologist suggest a low dose (4mg/day) of steroids to help with my exhaustion and headaches during the week of chemo. My previous experience with steroids was not pleasant. The dose was much higher and caused extreme anxiety, I was constantly agitated and could not sleep.
I decided to try the steroids this cycle and take an Ambian CR (Sleeping Pill) at night to help the sleep in hopes my quality of life would rise during this week.
I am proud I tried a tweak to my routine, but it is pretty much a wash. I still have a constant headache, have a little more energy, but the anxiety and agitation is too much. No help having more energy if it get PMS with it.
I'm about 4 minutes away from the Temodar dose tonight. This is the worst feeling having those pills in your hand, knowing you have to take them, and how miserable I will be tomorrow. I'll try post the next time I get out of bed.
