There's no way I could have driven home last time. Monday is round 2. It takes me about a week to start feeling halfway normal again. I had a nurse at the VA who stabbed me 3 times trying to put the connection into the port. I will request anyone but this guy Monday. The first 2 bags weren't that bad but the third one made me nauseous but I didn't puke. I had the bucket right there just in case. One of the medicines has a very strange side affect. If you touch something cold in the icebox or freezer it feels like you are outside in below zero weather and you touched something steel with no gloves on. It stings your fingertips. Another side affect is if you drink something cold the inside of your mouth, cheeks, tongue, and throat feel like you're gulping a frozen slurpee. Weird, huh? The pump with the last medicine you leave with runs for 46 hours. I woke up in the middle of the night completely soaked with sweat. I had to change pajamas. After getting that pump removed the next day I went back home from the VA and slept for 14 hours. They gave me generic(VA) Phenergan and it works pretty good for nausea. It also just about knocks you out. You could actually use it for a sleeping pill.

I'm wondering if the potency percentage is going to be higher as each treatment happens. Does anyone have any experience with this?
