Lost count of what day we are on ...

I have been taking Lupron for the past 4 days and I am not liking it at all. I have had horrible hot flashes, insomnia for the 1st 2 days and no energy for the last 2 days. I started the medicine on Friday. Here was how my weekend went:

Friday night I had instant hot flashes with insomnia

Saturday hot flashes came a little later but once again insomnia.

Sunday I decided enough was enough and I used the energy and good weather to do a full spring cleaning of my kitchen. I cleaned that kitchen from top to bottom. I cleaned the cabinets, the trash can got a bath, the screens on my kitchen windows got a hose down, and every appliance was scrubbed with the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, soap, and some good old elbow grease. I spent 3 hours on a very small walk in kitchen so you can only imagine the type of cleaning I did (I will take a picture of it later). That night when I got the injection I didn't have instant hot flashes but of course they came later. I did sleep though. Not sure if it was the spring cleaning that did it or just pure exhaustion.

Last night I actually went to bed before the hot flashes but started dreaming of hot things like a warm day but through out the dream the day just kept getting hotter and hotter until I woke up around midnight. When I woke up I was mid hot flash. My body was on fire. I guess subconsciously my mind was trying to wake me up. I got down to my birthday suit and tried to go back to sleep. I couldn't fall a sleep so I listened to the neighbor's dog bark until 3:00 am. I being the nice neighbor I am decided at 3:45 am I had had enough of the dog barking, got dressed, went to the neighbor's house, pounded on the door and woke them up. If I have to be awake due to their dog so do they. The gentleman came to the door half a sleep. I politely informed him that his dog has been barking since I woke up at midnight and that I think they MUST have forgotten to bring him in last night. He of course apologized and brought his dog inside. I finally fell back to sleep at 4:30 so that I could get up for 6:00 am

WAHOOO!!! Can you see how I am in such a great mood today. I just love these meds. I have a test tonight and have no energy. Not a very happy camper today at all. Well off to do some more work. Bye for now.
