Agitation

RuthieL

I just finished my 4th round of chemo (Docetaxel, Carboplatin, Herceptin) on Friday. Saturday was an okay day, Sunday was not bad. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday have been horrible. My exhaustion is worse than I could have imagined and on top of that, I feel like i have jumping beans inside of me. So I basically have no energy to do anything yet I have the nervousness of needing to do something. I called the doctor and first was told to try children's Benadryl. This put me to sleep (which was ok) but i woke up feeling the same. Next they had me try Xanax. Again, this worked but put me to sleep. Today they had me go in for an EKG. My pulse was at 98 but nothing too out of the ordinary other than that. I have sinus rhythm (which is good) but they want me to go in to see a cardiologist tomorrow.

I haven't taken any steroids since Saturday so those should be out of my system.

Has anyone else had any similar reactions? Any advise would be appreciated!
