OK, two days after my first dose of Cymzia, the jury is still out, of course. But so far, no terrible two days of extra-profound fatigue and feeling yucky as expected. Hooray!
In fact, I slept quite well both nights, and woke up better rested than usual.
I'm guessing that I was already so tired most days, that any additional fatigue translated into more success sleeping at night. So it's all good as far as immediate side effects go.
As far as relief -- don't know yet. Yesterday wasn't my worst day ever, thank goodness. But there were a few hours of sort of intense pain. It didn't keep me awake, though. And I didn't need a pain pill. This morning, I awoke at around 6:30, even though it's Saturday. I tried to go back to sleep, without much success, so at a little after 7, I got up and finished planting my garden. I think I'd just had enough sleep and was ready to get up.
It's not a feeling I'm used to having in the morning. But I'll take it.
The sun is shining and the day is warm. We're going to eat dinner out on the deck that Megan and Jeff fixed up for me for Mother's Day. It's beautiful!
:-)
I love you, Beth. I'm praying for you. It sounds like this med is worth a try :)
