It feels like the achiness is becoming more pronounced, especially during the morning hours. Sometimes I feel like I have aged about thirty years in a couple of weeks. What puzzles me so deeply is that this side-effect to the chemo has only appeared in the last few weeks. I would have assumed, if anything, that I would start feeling this way immediately after the treatments ended, not two months later. All the more reason for me to continue with the process of detoxing my liver each weekend.
On Friday, the chiropractor suggested adding hot baths with Epsom salts as well as using a dry brush in addition to the liver detoxing. The Epsom salts draw toxins to the surface of the skin, which is, by the way, a major eliminatory organ. Dry brushing stimulates the lymph nodes and helps move toxins out of the colon. I have an appointment with the naturopath on Tuesday and will be discussing incorporating both these suggestions into my daily routine. Sometimes it seems a little overwhelming. However, in this case, the alternative, chronic achiness, even if it is temporary, is something I am unwilling to accept.
