Another extra side effect of the treatment seems to be materialising. That is a sweet tooth. I have rarely eaten sweets and have not had sugar in tea and coffee for years. But I have cravings for toffee and, from time to time chocolate bars, especially Toblerone. I do eat them, if guiltily - although not too guiltily as my overall weight has dropped from about 12.5 stones to about 11.8 stones.
Driving has been fine - I do find I have to extra careful in double and treble checking when pulling out - but that is not because I have slowed down but just to be extra sure that my perception of distance and speed etc has not changed without me realising it.
Had a very heavy three days at work, including two major presentations to big audiences. Both went well, and I was certainly far too busy to even think about my treatment. In both presentations I managed to keep the cough at bay, although it came back with a vengeance for a short period this morning.
I find I can walk up and down stairs, or London Tube escalators, without feeling hugely tired, but anything involving lifting things (or as last weekend, sawing branches) saps my energy like a drain.
Have kept the irritability at bay over the last couple of days - mainly by keeping quiet and by physically moving from a situation when I feel myself starting to get cross.
After I have my injection tonight I will have an early night.
