We managed to get off to an early start this morning, although getting the cannula in was another disaster. First in my hand which hurt like hades! Took that out then proceeded to go up the arm a bit! This then was sore when the steroids were going in. There has been relief since. The nurses did contemplate taking it out but decided against it as my veins are so bad. I’m the bad vein girl!! It improved after a second flush and Lemtrada went in.
So another quiet day of the infusion. Although my day was brightened mid afternoon with a visit from a wonderful girlfriend bearing goodies for me. And the cutest little pillow! Thanks Jayne. You definitely brightened my day!
It was an earlier finish today. Was all done and dusted by 15:45 and felt really good. The nurse asked if they should leave the cannula in, but after the issues I had with it I felt I’d rather theyvtry again with a better site for day three.
Had a bit of a treat with Thai for dinner - lots of chilli. No ill effects after today’s treatment. Actually had a bit of energy and no headache or dry horrors!
Bring on day three.
