My Amyloidosis

7 days since the stem cells were received and chances of infection are high therefore level of isolation  is very important.
Main symptoms are: sickness,  diarrhea, lack of appetite, sore dry mouth,  swollen cheeks, aching all over, dry skin and feeling tired.
The doctors and nurses are great and they have an arsenal of drugs to help.
There are regular blood tests and observations and drugs and drips are altered accordingly. Recently I had anti sickness, anti viral, blood pressure and pain killers by mouth and platelets and fluid by drip through the hickman line.
Apparently next week my blood counts will start to go up and i will start to recover.
