Fay Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 Well, mom is sick again. She finished chemo/rad in Dec. Now she wakes up at 3 in the morning, sweaty and clammy. She is nauseated and dizzy. By evening she is able to sit up and have soup, but she is still fuzzy and tired. She has been like this since wed. Saw her physician on Thurs and had blood work done. Haven't heard anything on that. Not sure what it might be. Any ideas? Thanks, faylene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Wood Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 Is she drinking enough fluids? She could be dehydrated. This has happened to my wife a couple of times. I would expect the doctor to catch that though. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Posted March 1, 2003 Author Share Posted March 1, 2003 Thanks for the reply Don. I don't think she is dehydrated, prior to Wed, she was eating and drinking fine. She still is getting quite a bit in fluids, and I did the "pinch the skin" test and it doesn't show dehydration! Wish it was that simple!

Karma1976 Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 Fay has she gone in yet to see the doctor??? i Hope she is feeling better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Posted March 2, 2003 Author Share Posted March 2, 2003 Karma, My mom saw her family physician on thurs. and I talked to the Oncologist on call, on Sat. He said to continue with the antinausea meds and tylenol for headache. She is a little better today, just feeling fuzzy. The funny thing is that this same type of situation occurred about 4 weeks ago. After about 5 or 6 days she was better. Hope this isn't going to occur every month.

Karma1976 Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 That is the sad thing with this disease you think one day they're great and then the next day they can feel like holy hell. Well i hope she feel much better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
