I'm glad to know chemo has gotten better for some people.

They're still evil chemicals, and I wish we could move beyond that, but there have been big strides in the way they administer chemo. The dosages are lower in some cases and they load up the infusion with anti-nausea drugs.

And Benedryl, at least in my case. My body never did get used to the Taxotere (sp?) but the Bendryl kept it under control.

Benadryl's a fucking wonder drug. I will be having 50mg of it in 12 hours. Not a moment soon enough. And it will stop me wanting to run away. It's probably no surprise that my head is pounding relentlessly.

They had a hard time finding an IV anti-nausea drug that worked on my mother. I hope they get better, quickly.

Okay. Have a topic change. With a singularly huge letdown. You know what comes to your hopeful mind when you read the below:

"I had to call a wardrobe person in, 'Something is wrong with my thong, you guys. I think we are gonna have to figure this out,’ and they're like, 'Yeah, your legs are in the wrong holes,'" he [Bomer] said (video below).

No, it's not the right video. But it's still charming enough.

Benadryl is not a good thing for me. I have an atypical reaction to it and it makes me feel like my skin is crawling. Really not a good reaction at all. I'd had the reaction mildly once before with the Benadryl and didn't really think anything of it, but last year when I was hospitalized it happened again and it was not a good night.

I had Benadryl and steroids with Taxotere. Taxotere and I were not friends, but I know people who had almost no side effects on it. I had very mild side effects from the first half of the treatment, which is worse for a lot of people. Weird stuff, chemo.

My life without Benadryl and ibuprofen would be drippy and painful.

Where are the good scary movies? It's the month for it! TV can be so disappointing. And I don't think any good horror is even coming out this month in theaters.

My life without Benadryl and ibuprofen would be drippy and painful.

God, yes.

In some cases, this has been because, since the person was convinced she was supposed to feel horrible, she didn't tell the doctor what was going on or ask for different drugs.

Yeah, that's a problem. Ugh.

THAT is very impressive! Nice.

Too much benadryl and I get crawly too, Noise. But the dilaudid stops that. And it's better than the Compazine freakout that it stops. It's just a chain of drugs to stomp on the previous one's side effects.

Benadryl does nothing for me.

A coworker told me yesterday that he is allergic to aspirin and ibuprofen. Horrifying. I can't even.
