We have had 2 Thanksgiving feasts here. One on the day, at my niece's, and one here at the farm yesterday. Lots of good food. 2 turkeys on Thursday, 3 yesterday. One fried, one brined then baked, and one smoked. YUMMY! Sides were delicious, but we could have doubled the amount. The desserts were, and are, to die for. We have had every kind of pie, chocolate cake, rice pudding, you name it, we probably had some.
My hands have started to tingle, like they are asleep. I contacted MDACC on Wednesday, to see if another step down in steroids was possible. The nurse in neurology referred me to my primary care Dr. because the Brain one was off for the holiday. He is my medical oncologist. He increased my steroids back to 4 times a day, and wants me to continue at this dose till he sees me this next Wednesday. It isn't going to happen. I've increased to 4 times a day, with no change in symptoms, so I'm cutting back to 3 per day, and calling my neurosurgeon tomorrow. My hands are tingling constantly, and now the tremors are back, as well as the agitation I was experiencing before. Why can't my life be simple, or easy? The steroids make me crazy!
