Of the infusions? They pump me full of Benadryl to keep my chance of having an adverse reaction low. But then I am wiped out the rest of the day.
Minor, I know.
Two things I didn't expect. Being that cold, and being that sleepy.
And I can't sleep a wink all night

So I'm only an infrequent reader here, so I just found out about the cancer.
I had a touch of lymphoma this summer but I got better. I absolutely needed the Benadryl. My first infusion had me with a reaction and passing out.
My first indication was an asthma attack. I asked the nurse if I could use my inhaler and she was brining in the reaction kit before I finished my question.
Anyways, it's my experience that chemo is gonna wear you out with or without the Benadryl, but then, I never had trouble sleeping.
Hope your cancer gets beaten too.
