I am feeling somewhat better today. I had a pretty good nights sleep. fingertips even feel better. But my hair is falling out with a vengeance!
I still have the nagging diarrhea though. I just feel all over beat up, \im sure you all know the feeling. Hugs and love,
Janet

It was good to hear that you are feeling better, Janet. If you are having a problem with hair falling out, you might want to consider just having it cut very, very short or totally removed. Several of us on this site found it depressing to have hair falling out, and it was kind of liberating to cut it all off. You then could wear a tight-fitting cap or get a free wig from the American Cancer Society. Many insurance plans provide wigs also.
Best wishes,
Suzanne

Hang in there, Janet!
Thanks for keeping us updated. There are many people reading and sending best wishes your way, even if not everyone responds in writing.
And yes, we can all relate! If it's not diarrhea it's constipation and hemorrhoids--all just insult to injury.
Big hugs,
