Fallout
I had been warned to look out for side effects from the Immunotherapy.
That’s all very well but when a lot of the side effects are things I live with anyway,
I have been waiting for bits to fall off. So far I have retained all my limbs and other various appendages. I haven;t turned green or broken out in any rashes, Everything seems as normal as can be expected for someone of my vintage.
Apart from one thing.
I dare not stray far from home. I can sit in comfort sleeping the day away when suddenly, without warning I have to make a dash for the Smallest Room. Here I proceed to make loud and disgusting noises that would be the delight of any young boy. The problem is that these loud noises are somewhat liquid in nature and I am constantly having tp change my underwear and trousers after those trips where I wasn’t quite fast enough. We are also running rather low in toilet paper.
Is this a side effect? Or is it just the continuation of a problem I had before?
It seems to have eased off a bit.
Fingers crossed.
Buttocks clenched.
Have you been partaking of the takeaway curries? If not, then maybe you should! Seriously, the stuff you were given (like drain cleaner) has probably destroyed all your normal gut microbes, so you’ll need to raise some more that can survive on your diet!
I expect that your phone could be programed to sense when you are ‘ready’ and direct you to the nearest public toilet (or hedge, if none available round your way)
Is there a wonder food that has the opposite effect? eggs? porage?
I expect you’ll find a pattern over the next few months and find a way to work round it!
I was actually going to order a Madras or two but decided it might not be the wisest thing to do. We had baked beans on toast instead.
Since the treatment, have you tried to see if you can climb up walls, alla spiderman? You never know!
It would make the trips to the dunny a bit of a lark!
Shin up the walls of Gubmint Buildings and piss/shit off the parapet? I would enjoy that.
A friend was prescribed one drug with a side effect of causing constipation, and also another to deal with that side effect. Then they stopped the first but failed to review the need for the second, with unpleasant results until we worked out what had happened.
So maybe it’s some interaction between meds and one needs dialling back?
For a period of around three months there wasn’t a single day when I wasn’t on at least one antibiotic. i must have more in my veins than blood. I guessed that was probably the cause. I imagine what happened was that my gut was a barren desert and wide open to accommodate the first bacterium in, be it good or bad.
That’ll be a side-effect, I expect. A very annoying one too. Still, it’s an ill wind … as they say!
Side effect or not, it seems to have gone. At last.
