Treament starts tomorrow

My treatment officially starts tomorrow. Medications arrived on Friday in a refrigerated box. Nurse called on Thursday, at least half a dozen times. She took a history over the phone. She will be here Monday morning to teach me how to inject myself. Silly I know, it is something I could do myself, but I will wait. I stopped taking the neurontin, it wasn't really helping anyway with the neuropathy. The pins and needle feeling that just comes and goes with any warning down my arms into my hands, down my legs and feet. It does seem the more I do or try to do the worst it gets. But the neurontin I think was really contributing to my crazy mood swings. Or maybe I just want to believe that. But it can cause depression, mood swings, anger..kinda describes some of the things I was feeling. Only really intensified. I am trying not to look too far into the future. I am not a fortune teller, my PALS and ACLS expire soon, pretty sure I will not be put on the list to have my credential renewed thru the ER. I am not even sure after all this if I can continue on in my chosen field. This is so scary, I was infected at work, this has changed my life.
