Rough couple of weeks since I was told by the triage nurse that my pain may be constipation. It isn't. I can barely walk. I am pretty sure my ovaries are toast. I don't have any upcoming appointments for this issue. I do go for pap in two weeks. I will update.

I am in terrible pain. It was my time of the month but of course it can't happen because of the Tamoxafin and the Zoltex or whatever. But the PMS still takes place and my ovaries hurt like crazy. But this time, it has been five days with no relief. I called the triage nurse and was instructed to take a laxative. That did not help one bit. Also, I don't know if it is the weather, but my feet are puffy. They still hurt for the first few steps each time I walk, but now I walk like my back hurts. I am slow and wobbly and hunched. My left ovary and thigh bone hurt constantly. I have a Dr. Appointment on Tuesday; maybe I will feel better by then. Also, I am exhausted. I took two naps today and don't remember a sound, like a good, deep sleep. My family of course had no respect for the sleeper so, two naps instead of one long one. :-). I am missing my friend's shindig tonight because my body sucks. I have been exercising and eating right, hopefully I will loose this new weight I have put on. I am puffy. I am 'mountain lady of the world' (family joke about my weight).

I guess I am in the clear now. I don't have anything but check-up appointments and a mamo. My bones hurt, my feet hurt and I still have bouts with lymph edema but I am working through that. I have started exercising. I did too much in the first week and strained a ligament in my left shoulder. Had to wear a sling for a few days, which was no fun. So now I am walking at least 3 times a week for 30 minutes and eating a lower carb diet. Hopefully the time and occurrence of the exercise will increase and I will lose some weight.
