Day Two of the Thyrogen Shot

In general am very happy that I no longer have to go to the day job which was so stressful. Sometimes I think that is what caused this cancer - and peoples' cancer in general - stress and the unseen crap in the air no one wants to talk about - that besides the crap in most of the food we eat. Our company employees seem to come up with strange cancers much more than most of us hear about in others within our extended families and friends. Old time printing ink? What did they do with it and the chemicals that cleaned the presses over a hundred years ago? What is lurking in a brick building, literally over the river, that is 150 years old? What lurks in those cube walls and cheap paint used over and over.

Anyhow, the first two days of unemployment have been spent going to hospital to take the Thyrogen. First day had no reaction other than ability to take a nap in afternoon! Never do that. Also slept well last night, again not "normal". Today's shot seems also ok but do have a slight headache. Have noticed some headaches in the background of my head when normal pain meds for arthritis have been forgotten, but this one seems some different.

Food has been better this week. ALMOST used to this low iodine diet - not! It is better and today, three days later than when I made and wrote about that stew, I just had some for lunch. Last day I think I can eat it, although I had frozen some for next week. One great thing about vegetarian food, it lasts a lot longer than anything with meat products in it. Then, take out dairy and it can last for a very long time. It tasted much better today. Had it along with some matzo crackers dipped in a very good tomato/raisin (salt less) chutney.

Have wanted to write here more. Think of things throughout day think would be useful here in case anyone ever read it, but since I never tell anyone about this blog... nevermind! Was happy today to find some information from patients on this same treatment that was actually dated 2010. So far everything I ever find is at least two years old. I guess I need to add some other than this non-advertised blog...
