So every few days my side effects change. For a while it was aches and pains, then we seemed to get that under control. Then it was the pins and needles, which are still my number one most awful side effect (bad episodes each of the last three days). But I have it more under control. For a while I couldn’t eat because of the lesions on my tongue, and for two days I even had trouble talking it was so bad. Then it was the lesions on my hands, which are easing off (i put vinegar on them). And the “sore bottom” which I soak as often as i can.
The latest are my eyes. The skin around my eyes is simply falling off. Flaking off in painful chunks. I have cuts/lesions at the creases and folds below my eyes. And crazy white flaky skin. It hurts, and putting moisturizer on it seems to make it hurt more (temporarily) and not really solve the problem. But if any of this is a pattern to be repeated, the eyes will be better by next week, and it will be something new.
for anusol check drugstore.com or amazon?
as for the pain with the ass, perhaps a donut pillow to sit on would help because you’d get airflow to it and have no pressure on it. . .
hope you had a good thanksgiving 🙂
sorry doughnut pillow.
These look yummy:

Try not to rub your eyes too much. A California-style cucumber mask might offer temporary relief. Or what about one of those frozen masks? It won’t stop the cuts and flaking, but might be soothing and might even help pins & needles..? Really, I just think it would look good on you!
