This weekend, I'm "in company" - at a weekend meeting - for the first time since treatment started. I was a bit concerned that I'd be too tired, or unable to cope with other side-effects, to participate very much in the meeting itself, but so far, all's well. I did have to go to bed early last night, leaving everyone else to chat, and the evening meal disagreed with me in a way that wouldn't have happened if I weren't having treatment; however, that was my own fault! I forgot my "little and often" mantra as regards eating at the moment, and I paid for it... The medication, Loperamide, is wonderful and acts really quickly. Unfortunately, last night, not fast enough to avoid repercussions of eating 'normally'... But at least I've learned my limitations.
So, as long as you're sensible it seems, there's no reason not to take part in your usual activities. I must admit that I'm a little tired today, but mainly because I've been having such a quiet life for the last few weeks, not as a result of the treatment.
