I had my usual overwhelming fatigue on Saturday and Sunday and could do very little but sleep. I always have some degree of change in taste but this time seems worst. Nothing tastes good. Anything that is remotely sweet tastes gross ... I just want to rip out my tongue.
I had to scrounge around in the pantry to look for anything that might taste good. Since even Chinese food is not doing it for me, I thought I would try curry. I found a packet of Malaysian curry, so I boiled some potatoes and chopped up some leftover beef, and had myself some curry. I tasted some and it was edible but the funny thing is I could not taste any of the heat or spice. I'm not a fan of packet curries and curries not made by my Mum -- she was the only one who could make curry that was not too spicy for us. I am desperate here!
I've survived so far but have lost about five pounds ... it will all come back eventually.
I've had some of the pain from the Neulasta shot that I was warned about -- stomach, sternum, ribcage, hips, shoulder, but none of it has required medication. However, today I developed some pretty bad back pain and had to take Tylenol for it and then passed out on the couch.
This too shall pass ...
