What I don't know is ifit will continue for the duration of the course of the treatment or if my body will grow somewhat accustomed to it. From what I've heard, chemo doesn't get better. Once when I was on Levaquin, which is a particularly powerful (and according to the attorneys who buy commercial air time during court TV shows to try to get people to sign up for class-action suits, potentially dangerous) antibiotic I was on when part of my colon necrotized, I didn't start to feel better until five days after I finished the course of antibiotic treatment. Of course the illness itself couldn't have been ruled out as a source of part of the bad feelings, but my Gastro Man said I the bulk of the problem was Levaquin and was able to tell me within a day when I should start to feel better. There could have been self-fulfilling prophecy involved, but if my Gastro-man knew that, he could have told me I would start to feel better in exactly 18 hours, or at least within hours after the final pill was taken (I had it in IV form twice a day in the hospital, then in oral form once I was released from the hospital.) I ought to email Sanjay Gupta. He seems to know everything.AlexisARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09797016673203467911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485729541580426717.post-17826815233187974022016-10-13T08:21:49.499-07:002016-10-13T08:21:49.499-07:00Sounds dreadful!
