    Well
    I had the same problem,and mine turned out to be the pain pills.I was on vicoden for almost a year,and I started iching,was unable to sleep,had trouble eating,and kept feeling anxious.It took almost a month to get the vicoden out of my system.I now take ativan 2x dailey,and zoloft 1x a day,and everything is better.Talk to the doctor,and good luck.

    You need to get some help with this and do it PDQ. Call your doctor's nurse on Monday morning and explain this to her. There is something wrong with your medication, it sounds like. And it needs to be addressed now.

    Be careful over the weekend and please be careful with the Ativan. No one is wishing you to go. You stay with us, you hear?

    Dear Pepe
    You have mentioned in other posts about going to the beach. Is it possible that there is a reaction with all that sun and some medication you are on?

    Probably would be best to contact your doctor.

    Hope you feel better soon.

    Hugs,

    Marie who loves kitties

    Thanks mates but i think it's a problem of accumulation of chemo
    and steroids after so many rounds!. Don't worry I'm only having 2 ativans a day!.
    Hugs!

    I think you are right about
    I think you are right about the culprit being the steroids. My husband feels this same way. We asked them to cut those back after I learned from this Board what was causing the problem. Pot can also help or so we've heard since we are from Ohio and can not get it legally.

    dear pepe i hope ypur feeling better
    all your feelings are pretty normal for crc, the steroids do strange things to your mind. look at me for example. LOL.

    so walk and smile my friend, you have so much care and appreciation here.
    you might have to force the smile a bit, get out into the sunshine and i hope tomorrow is a good day.

    hugs,
    pete
