Smile good for you !!!

Hi Joanne
I read your yesterday's post and I am so happy for you -- you sound so much better. I am glad you found some help with all your aches and pains. I know what it feels like to walk out of a doctor's appointment feeling like a weight has been lifted. You just needed some help, and there's nothing wrong with that. Hope you get good results with the new PT. I had lots of arm and shoulder pain and have mild lymphodema -- physio really helped me a lot. Have you tried sleeping with a little tiny pillow under you arm ? It helped me a lot. Also............thanks for starting that "hamster thread". As you've probably noticed, I am having a blast with it !!! You gotta laugh !!!

Hi all
With all the drugs we have to take, fatigue becomes a big problem.
Just with herceptin alone my blood pressure went up, blood pressure
meds were given, my cholestrol went up, cholestrol meds were given, plus
arimidex for estrogen positive bc and on and on. I have to get up early
just to take all the pills. The one thing that always helps is humor and I
love the hampster story. Best of luck to all and we have to just keep on
going.
