It’s Labor Day, and in the true spirit of the occasion, I’ll spend the day laboring. Yesterday I did housework (still didn’t finish everything) and today I’ve got to figure out what happened at work last week and try to start getting caught up. To be honest, it makes a pit in my stomach. Yes, I’ve been in my NIH funk, but at the same time, on a high about the drug trial. I haven’t wanted to check my work e-mail for fear there’s some angry reader or advertiser laying in wait for me, ready to ruin my hopeful spirit.
As for the drug trial its self, I can’t really tell if I’m having any side effects. The list of side effects for this drug very much resemble my normal day-to-day issues, so I can’t really tell if I’m having a reaction to the drug, or just being my normal wonky self.
I’ve been very tired. I slept 14 hours uninterrupted – not even getting up to go to the bathroom – between Saturday and Sunday. But, I sometimes get very fatigued and do that. My joints have hurt some (an item listed on the side effects list) but then again, they might anyway. I am having a little diarrhea, but I always do when it’s my time of the month. I’ve had a headache for days now, but it feels like a sinus headache – again, a normal problem for me.
So far I haven’t missed a dose, although I’m supposed to take this stuff with food and I’m having a hard time getting my eating schedule and my pill schedule to match up. Last night I stayed up until almost 2:00 am just so there would be the required 8 hours in between pills. I’ve really got to get on a better schedule.
