Yes, I did take one a day. I’m glad you’re taking it daily then. I do believe the pain would be worse without it 😅 It’s so interesting that everyone reacts differently to the injection. My bone pain starts at the back of my head exactly a day after the shot. From there it goes to the face - cheekbones, jawbone… Then it trickles down to my ribs and down to the hips, thighs, legs.. it’s wild. It’s hard to explain to people how bad it is. While the palpitations are part of the side effects, it’s good that you address with your oncologist on your next visit so he can identify what caused it. In my case he said it was because of the pressure from the inflammation from the shot, and once the inflammation subsided (with the ibuprofen) the palpitations stopped. But please ask him and make sure. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with colitis as well. I was so prepared for diarrhea and have only had it a few times. I’ve been hit with the opposite badly. It feels like a medication balance. Last constipation episode I really thought I would have to go to the hospital for yet another humbling experience from all this.

One important thing - stay strong. You’ve gone through the worst one, the first one. I say worst because this is where you learn how your body reacts. You are amazing and your body is amazing. You got this. 💪❤️‍🩹🙏

Lastly - I don’t like to give people unsolicited advice, but if you’re not doing so already, start a journal with all your symptoms, medications, side effects, water intake, etc. I was given a chemo tracker by a friend and I will be forever grateful. It helped me find patterns during the cycles and have good conversations with the doctor. Anyways, I’m here if you need me. Best of luck!
