Thank you! My stem cell transplant was autologous. I was nauseated during the process and had the diarrhea from the strong chemotherapy they used to remove my previous immune system. I went down to zero and was very lethargic as well. But I kept walking and eating very nutritious foods and that helped tremendously. I now also have rheumatoid arthritis and I am back on a small, weekly injection of Methotrexate to help with my RA. The Methotrexate makes me nauseated so I take Zofran to try and counteract that medication side effect. I have had RA flares and have had to ramp up on Prednisone and then ramp down. That helped my flare but also made me very hungry at the same time as it increases your appetite.
I am so very thankful for my medical team! They have been awesome! I am very fortunate!
