Risperdal can cause hyperprolactinemia, which leads to bitch tits. Any antipsychotic aside from Abilify can cause it.

I generally try not to make Blog type shit posts so you can skip over this if you want.
With that said oh my fuck this is the pits. I'm all out of medicinal MJ and sick as a dog today. Constant 99.0-.5 fever and threw up twice and overall I feel like a pile of dog shit on a hot summer day. Yes I have spoke to my doctor and short term unless my temp hits 100.5 it's just the chemo fucking me up. Even though I've been done and haven't had a chemo dose in almost 3 weeks I've got at least 2 or 3 more weeks of the side effects to "enjoy".
I've got Zofran but it severely constipates me and/or can give me diarrhea. I also have Compazine but there's a decent chance that one will give me anxiety attacks. I just can't handle any of those additional side effects right now. Not even Destiny can save me from all this bullshit.



EDIT: And damn as much as I can't stand some of them I do have family that come through in the clutch. My Uncle who is also a cancer patient just gave me some meds that should last me. Gonna have to do something special for this guy when I'm feeling better.

So sunday I had massive pain and soreness in my shoulders and thought it was from doing demo in a bathroom Friday.
Monday I was rapid sneezing off and on but I felt fine otherwise.
Tuesday felt tired but otherwise fine.
Wednesday Holy shit. I started coughing Tuesday night about 10pm. It wasnt a deep cough just upper throat irritation. By Wednesday noon I could no longer do any activity without resulting in massive coughing fit. At this point last point of sleep was Tues morning.
By Wed night I had taken Nyquil, Ricolli, Cepacol, Coldeez, Chloraseptic , musucinex and some other shit. Thursday I swear 3 different times I was near death from lack of oxygen. 2 of those times I blacked out from coughing I don't remember much of yesterday except massive pain from all the coughing/sneezing and the feeling of lack of air numerous times. The 2nd time I blacked out I fell asleep which was the first sleep in 60 hours. Slept till noon today mostly. I remember waking up a ton overnight but I at least was able to go back to sleep. Bed looked like a dog had sneezed on it.
Woke up today and realized I hadn't ate for 3 days and had only drank 1 vitamin water in 2. I can at least move around some 30 feet at a time before I nearly pass out. Yesterday hand movements wore me out.
Feeling better by the hour although I sound like shit, look like shit but compared to yesterday I feel awesome even though I am probably only 20% of what I was Tuesday.

Haven't had a cold/flu/virus/isil this bad since 1987. I swear when I get enough energy I am going to buy a case of lysol and kill these little germy fuckers with extreme prejudice.

Jesus Christ go to the doctor. Coughing to the point that you black out is not a normal cold/flu

I have no faith in my doctors to not do what I already did for it.
Emergency room would have been thousands out of my own pocket but when I woke up today I had opened calling on my phone and entered 91 at some point.
Have had colds/flu since 1987 but nothing like this. Was Pneumonia back then, not sure what this was but it was fucking brutal. Still got heavy congestion, coughing, headache and weakness but overall I feel much better.

It seems like subconsciously you were dialing 911 and it might've been the right course of action here.

a_skeleton_03, what were you doing that exposed you to high rad count? Was it simply all the air travel or were you working with hazardous materials? If you can't answer for confidentiality reasons, I get that. I only ask this because while there is little to no cancer history in my own family, I have been flying a lot (something no one else in my family does) and I live in the giant hole in the ozone lair known as the LA sky (ditto that) and I am concerned about the rad level people get from air travel. I know there have been some studies on it and was curious if your personal experiences relate to this at all.

I doubt it was subconscious, I just don't remember doing it. I do remember not being able to breathe.

I got Shelly's Spinal Tap results today in the mail. While we already knew from the meeting on the 3rd it was MS now we have the results on paper to view.
Not sure what most of those mean and ever searching online for some of these tests yields no info , I assume for rarity of the test or whatever.
For example in one is a IGG/Serum/CSF scale of -9.9 to +3.3 normal she had a 38.56 score. Was a lot of them like that.

Should add already had a friend of a friend of a family come by to give some BS story. She has had MS since 81 and takes drugs which controls it, I feel for her too, however one thing I have learned about MS over the past 2 years of researching it is no 2 cases are the same. There is several types and much variation in how bad it is between people. This chick has the remit type and diagnosis of 12 on the scale of impairment after 33 years of it. Shelly was already in the 30's on impairment scale and they are leaning towards the progressive MS. So the fact she came by to tell her it wasn't a big deal , don't let it worry her and that shit pissed me off more than helped.
It's like really? Yours is more controllable and remits for years/decades at a time and hers is already a factor of hundreds worse and doesn't remit and you can say its all going to be ok?

I was nice, I didn't over react while she was here and I'm sure I am over reacting now, but it just pissed me off.
It would be like a man with paper cut on his finger telling a man with penis cancer I know what you mean bro, shit hurts.

Mine has all been RF from satellite and radio antennas.

I work with these dishes and smaller ones including LOS communications utilizing microwave.

I have probably only 20-30 flights under my belt so not sure that could be a factor.

Also I spent a year straight in Iraq near a plane graveyard the Iraqi's had. Who knows which was the factor if it wasn't genetic or just a fluke.

One of my ex-gf's worked on a case where a worker was killed when a microwave emitter was given power while he was working on it. Those skull and Xbones stickers and warning signs are there for a reason. Scary stuff. I used to work for a telecom that had its own road crew. Safety standards were enforced without deviation. One guy tried to find out what was in a 55 gal drum by sticking his head in it and torquing off a lighter. He was fired on the spot. 20 years gone and no pension.

Ouch, yeah. I have read that just passive UV focused off the dish can generate a fair amount of rads. Point to point microwave is actually pretty nasty over a prolonged period, too, as I understand it. Did they make you were a rad badge while you worked on that equipment?

Me? I didn't work on equipment. I was on the dipshit side, meaning that I worked in HR. I worked fraud cases. I was paid to find the truth about things from accidental deaths to fraud, blackmail and leaking of company information of any type.

No, this was the Marines, dosimeter? Hell no, we just told everyone "don't walk right in front of it, you'll be fine".

Olebass, how are you feeling now?
I'm actually able walk around the house now although it sends me into coughing fits and I am able to actually think which is a first in a few days.
The down side is Shelly is now sneezing and coughing and I hope to hell she doesn't get it as bad as I did. She doesn't smoke and I am a heavy smoker which is why I probably suffered so bad.
I have 4 different Ecigs on my desk some like the Mark 10 I have like 30 carts for cause they keep sending me free coupons, I really need to take them seriously but I have yet to find a brand that takes care of my cravings. I saw something in the Ecig thread about a 24+mg nicotine cart I may give that a shot. Right now I am or at least was until Tuesday a 2-3 day pack smoker and have been for 22 years.
I plan on taking it somewhat easy this weekend. I have 3 jobs in progress that homeowners are getting antsy over however So I need to be hard back at it by Monday.

That's some serious impaired gas exchange if walking down the hall gives you the coughing fits. Is your cough productive or non productive? Any phlegm? Color? Odor?

No color, not productive,virtually no phelgm which is why I suspect flu/d68.

Is a tiny amount with it today but for 3.5 days nothing, but I am also coughing deeper today and it doesn't hurt as bad.
