Dose 1 (around 11:30) was OK, except for making me really tired (as it said on the tin), and I had a raging headache, which I couldn't tell if it was from caffeine withdrawal or the drug. I felt a bit off all afternoon, but around the time Ben was swinging by Med Deli to get dinner, I started to get hungry (yay!)
I took dose #2 around 5:50, about 6 hours later. After about 10 or 15 minutes, I felt nauseous and dizzy, and when Ben brought the food home, the smell of it turned my stomach. Around 6:35 I called my GI's office, got their recording and a number for paging the MD on call. Lucky for me, my GI is on call tonight. She said I should quit the new drug (hyoscyamine) since it doesn't seem to be working and take a Zofran for the current nausea (it's been a good half hour now, and I feel somewhat better, so the stuff works, at least), then call her office in the morning.
I also felt halfway migrainey, from headache to tingly/numb fingers to inability to brain. That's resolving, at least.
The doc said that the results of the biopsies *might* be in tomorrow. Sometimes if they're straightforward they come back early.
Fingers crossed, Daumen gedrückt. Checking which hospitals in ATL are in network to be on the safe side.
Note to D*Cers: if I'm too sick to travel, we'll cancel one room and put the other in someone else's name. It'll be 5 of you most likely (since N said she'll ask for a back-up plan because 6 people is crowded).
