Whole Brain Radiation, side effects
Well, they warned me it might take some time for the effects to build up. And they are now building up. Or have built up. Or something.
I now have a good idea of what morning sickness must be like. Every morning for the past three days, I’ve ended up praying to the porcelain god in the bathroom. Nausea builds up slowly, then suddenly I have to *run* for the bathroom. It’s not painful spasming, like you get with food poisoning, just a sudden and violent need to empty my stomach. And when it’s finished, I feel fine, no bending over for ten minutes cursing the universe as my abs go into spasmic fury. Certain smells make it worse, as does people talking to me.
As well as the nausea, I’m feeling absolutely exhausted. I’m sleeping well enough, but when I wake up, I find myself looking forward to when I can go back to bed again. And you know that’s got to be a bad sign. It hasn’t got to the stage of somnolence and microsleeps yet, but it’s heading that way. What’s nice about this is that I finally have a medical reason why I MUST have a lie-in. Awwwwright!
