Hello friends, *Barenaked Ladies voice* IT’S BEEN two weeks since my last infusion. I’m slowly shaking off the extra fatigue and managing to move beyond my couch. I made the mistake of clearing a new garden bed yesterday, though. Doing manual labor in 90° heat when you have a heat sensitivity is tricky, even on my best day. This close to an infusion, it went from challenging to scary pretty quickly. At one point, my heart rate spiked, and a wavy of dizziness and nausea washed over me. I ended up stripping down to my underwear and sitting on my pool steps to try to cool down. After ten minutes in the pool, my heart rate was still in the 105 area. I managed to drag myself into a cold shower, which helped. But once I calmed my body, fatigue was the only thing left. I don’t think I’ll be trying that again for at least another week.
