In remission, just finished my first set of round of four treatments of rituxan.This past Thursday.
The last 7 or 8 weeks have a lot of twitching in my leggs and some in my side. Guess its a side effect from chemo./drugs. Have not seen anyone else posted with this problem.. Mine is very noticable when trying to go to sleep at night. You can see my skin jump. LOL.
I like others wish I was feeling normal.. NOW.. LOL.. I have days I am sleepy & can not stay awake during the day. Hope it is just a side affect from the chemo & now the rituxan. If all goes well will not have my next round of four treatments of rituxan until Jan 2011.
So sure hope I will show signs of impovement as the weeks or months go by? How long does it take your Energy level to get better? I guess it depends on the person?
Any feed back on this issue or the twitching issue? Please reply.
Have a good week all. YOu are all still in my prayers nightly.. Sheila
My last Rituxan was 6 months ago. My legs are just starting to feel normal again. It was like walking through sand everyday. At night they felt like dead weight. The exhaustion will probably be there for a while. I still have days where I can sleep anytime anywhere. I do try to rest more on the weekend as I am working full time. When I least expect it I get this wave of exhaustion and I am down for about a day or so. I sleep a lot, and then back to the so call "normal". My energy level is coming back, but not as fast as I want. Some days I almost forget I have cancer. I take that as a good sign. So, the healing will come. It just takes time.
I wish I was back to feeling normal...0(-_-)0 ..LOL
I still have days I seem to want to sleep & then others that I can not catch my breath, sit down rest , then go again. Then the times I can not sleep, go to bed, toss & turn for a couple of hours, so get back up & watch the clock turn to 2 or 3 a.m...My last Rituxan was Aug, 12th 2010. Don't have another four weeks of until Jan. 2011, if all continues to go well. And I tell myself ..don't complain about this.. Life is good. Could still be taking Chemo..RIGHT.. Thank the LORD I am in remission..
So since I can not find a job, maybe now just get in the car & take a small trip?!! Would be all by myself?! What new done that many times before!! I don't have the strength for a walking tour? So drive & look? Ok I feel better,, I should get out of this small apartment & go for a drive..
Still praying for you all For GOD to help everyone to get thru the treatments..AND to hear the words remission.....
