Re: Things I've learned

Great suggestions! I agree with, and have done all of them and am really feeling good about myself physically and mentally during this otherwise trying time. I'll add a few, if that's okay

1. Nap when you feel like it (if you can that is). Even a 1/2 hour power nap can work wonders to keep you going.

2. Coconut oil pulls in addition to the salt/baking soda also works wonders. It's kind of gross, but it works. Just take 1 tsp. c-oil and swish around in your mouth. The experts say 20 minutes, good luck with that! I think a few minutes is about all I can tolerate. It does feel fresh after.

3. Moisturize your whole body often. It helps fight the dryness from chemo. Also, each night, I place a small amount of Aquaphor in each nostril (icky but it works!) to ward off nasal dryness. I've never ever had a bloody nose and I'll be damned if they are going to start now.
