Trapped Again
Damn -stuck another night because of my kidney numbers. My cratinine will not budget off 1.89 and the damn methotrexate is still at 0.2 and needs to be at 0.1. At 72 hours I have always been at 0.08 every single time - until now. Now it decides to just sit in my system wreaking havoc.
I thought the leucovorin was helping flush it out - but a quick googly search reveals that leucovorin actually just counteracts the effects of methotrexate. The only flush is the constant bag of saline that is pumped into my 24/7 causing me to pee every 90 minutes. Which is good - but not helping as much as it should.
A kidney specialist is supposed to take a look today. To what end I don't know - he will say the same thing. Tomorrow.
Shit. Asked about how this might affect the last R-EPOCH and right now they say it will not. He actually said I could stay right through Tuesday - I said, kill me now, please.
So that's where we are - the build up of toxins finally hit and will not leave. On the plus side, the mouth sores which hit so hard at this point last time have not hit yet. I am having a yogurt every morning for the probiotic and doing the mouth rinse every 90 minutes. I hope I can at least keep them down
Rough week - - but so close to the end.
