I’m 12 years out of chemo and my peripheral poly neuropathy is driving me out of my mind!!! I’m on so much medication and nothing helps anymore I nearly want to just end it. I was on 2 platin based chemotherapy which was Cisplatin and the 5 -FU and now it’s a non stop buzzing and burning and vibrating electrical fire storm in my legs feet and hands. I’m in pain meds, Cymbalta and as much gabapentin that my neurologist can give me. I sleep with feet hanging off my bed because they burn so bad! I have zero quality of life anymore. I just want it to end!!!
Every video on neuropathy suggests exercise, but how the heck can you exercise when it feels like pins and needles being driven into your feet with every step? I can barely walk my dog up and down my street before the numbness and discomfort becomes unbearable. My neuropathy didn't really bother me until after my chemo treatments finished. It's been 4+ months since my last chemo treatment and no improvement yet. I can see how people who end up with permanent neuropathy are driven crazy by it. My cancer prognosis is good after all my treatments & surgery, but it sucks that I can barely walk :(
Edie, you are as vibrant and wise as you were when I worked for you in the mid 70's! Seeing you again in this video shows me how much you influenced my life. You are still a pistol! It is a great gift to have spent those lab days with you. Elaine Robinson
I love watching these happy events - but I wish that I could understand the ones who squeal out their match destination as they jump into the air. I understand the emotion but I wish I knew their matches.
Congradulations to all students in particular Edom Alemayehu Well done!!!Your Grandpa from Ethiopia, All Your Unlces and Anties from UK & US also Your cousins from US, UK and Ethiopia.
This concerns me since I'm about to start Cisplatin one day a week for 7 weeks alongside 35 radiation hits for oropharyngeal cancer. Why would onocologists not clearly explain the risk of this condition if they know it is likely to occur in most people?
i have such hard time with fatigue and weakness and even one wrinkle in thin shit or clothes drives me crazy, along with hot cold and sweating sensitivity is off chain. My family doc been looking for reason why. I think these cancer doctors HIDE what can happen. I have told mine and always acts dumb or like they know. going to hit these docs hard core now i seen this. i had some and it went away but then AFTER i ha. d finished it slowly started and has not stopped yet, and its been 7 months. and I did not have that much chemo/ra. These kind of things is why I STOPPED. It was killing me fast. my heart enzymes went high which is why so many die of heart issue after cancer.. or during. I stopped and enzymes went back to normal along with blood work, but the fatigue, weakness, sleepiness, sensitivity stayed... ALL these docs seem to think of it MORE DRUGS it seems. it hides symptoms but does more damage. later too. grrrr gab-a-pen-tin LMAO
36:40 I want Jimmy as my doctor. That kind of journey yields the greatest kind of grit, empathy and character that makes you special. So happy it all worked out for him :)
Lmao... Is this normal in america? In the UK you just get an email telling you where you're training post is. No speeches, no whoops, no proud parents. I laugh, but you get paid double the amount I do so really I should just laugh at myself.
Peter, Hi. Not sure how I stumbled upon this video, but I did. We were at school together in Cardiff - I was a couple of years behind you but we were friends through the drama group. Good to see that you finally made it as a doctor, despite the “little detour”. I beat you to it, qualifying in 1988. It’s no surprise though. You were a superb academic, sportsman, musician (and actor 😂) destined for great things and a far from conventional life. I wish you well in your medical career as I retire and sail into the sunset 😊
My Dr says I can't do kegels for life due to radiation damage to the connective tissue. I'm on osphena and estrogen cream to rebuild the tissue and to help get the vaginally tissue more elastic. I've already torn a hamstring and the plantar fascia last year and had 3 prolapse. I had surgery to fix those. Surely I can still do something?
For some reason these Match Day: 2019 videos have been suggested to me lately. I feel like it’s a movie I’ve watched before and am rewatching, thinking these poor, innocent new residents have NO idea what they are in for. Covid came during their first year of residency. Everything changed so fast
