Neupogen & Magic Mouthwash

Hi there. A new reader sent me a question/comment and I want to make sure I answer her. Thanks for reading. I do not take Neupogen on a regular basis. It does not work as it does for most users. (Yes, I wish it did so I could feel 'normal' and not so tired and in pain). But, I do use Magic Mouthwash. It's a great thing when you have canker sores and inflammation. The local pharmacy started making it for me about a year ago. Thanks for your concerns. I appreciate you reading and for contacting me. Thanks for reading anyone. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Kat

Bone Pain & Fatigue

Hi everyone. Hope you are all doing well. My bone pain has been moderate the last couple days, even on pain medications. And,my bones feel fatigued-like they are deteriorating. I know that sounds crazy, but they feel weird, very tired, and hurt. I know they are working hard. Just sick of of this crap. I know those that have neutropenia know what I'm talking about. Some days you just get sick of it all. Ugh! So, while I am so very thankful for all I have in life-my family, home, and things I take for granted all time-I just want to wallow and scream about my neutropenia pain, symptoms, and the deterioration of the health I do have and will lose as time goes on. Ugh! These days suck. I am thankful to all of you who read. I pray for all those with neutropenia and other health conditions envy day. My you find some peace. Kat

Mouth Sores

Hi everyone. Thank you for reading my blog. Hope it's helping you or your loved ones. Right now, I have mouth sores. One is in my throat and is about the size if a nickel-although feels like it's half my throat. Very sore, painful, especially when swallowing. Hot water and tea help. Not much else. Thankfully, there us not much more going on with me- just the regular crap, as I like to call it (sore throat, low grade fever, fatigue, and bone pain). Exercise-and just moving around-helps. So, I have been trying to keep up with swimming, walking, running, weights, and the elliptical-not all at once! (Laugh). I alternate and try to keep it to 5 times per week. If I do more, it's too much for my body. Although I do light stuff on my 'days off' like a walk around the neighborhood. Stay healthy everyone. And, take care. Kat
