It’s like 3:45 am and I cannot sleep!
Not sure everyone had the same experience, but when you were a young teen do you remember those awful growing pains? I’m remembering them right now.
I’m pretty sure I’m simply kicking back in some of the original side effects that occurred when I first started Cabozantinib. I recall this joint pain in my knees and shins as one of the many side effects. Maybe there is a reset button on the chemo side effects that says I gotta start the whole journey over again?
Fortunately the original bout only lasted a couple of weeks so I am internalizing my clock to prepare for it mentally. This type of pain is really annoying at the beginning but is one you can quickly habituate and normalize into obscurity.
At least that’s what I’m telling myself as I try to get past the pain and get back to sleep.
I’ll be dreaming of heating pads in no time!
