These drugs are waging war on my body. While they are certainly helping my condition, and the swelling in my eyes has gone down, usually everyday I'm hunched over the toilet throwing up. It's almost like the drugs don't want me to have food in my system the same time I have medication in my system. Which is inconvenient since I take my medication both morning and night. I'm like an "unintentional bulimic". It's a constant battle between lowering the dose of medication so I don't feel as sick, but then wondering if the lower dose of medication will still be effective. I can deal with being sick everyday if it means that in the long run I will eventually conquer my psuedotumor, but how long will I have to be sick for? Two years?? I don't want to be throwing up everyday for the next two years.
My doctor usually leans more towards not wanting me to feel awful everyday, and I seem to lean more towards the, let's just beat this and move on, side. Other then the throwing up constantly, I have had two infections in the last week, and am always lightheaded and tired. It seems like the medication is messing with my entire body and throwing everything out of whack. It's frustrated. I just want to feel healthy again. I'm usually so energetic, I miss it.
