Chapter 6: Letrozole Day 4

For those that know me, they'd tell you that I get cold all year round. Like even in the summer, I will have a cardigan on, and socks around the house. My feet and hands are always cold. No issue with anemia or thyroid. Which has been fine, no problem, used to it.

Except today.

I'm on day 4 of my tablets. I went to make dinner after I got done with work. Was super in the mood for some traditional desi dinner so made bhunna huwa qeema with my mother in law's secret naan recipe which I love and will make when I can. My mom and brother called and said they were coming over, so they'd be joining us for dinner. I whipped up some fruit tart for dessert, and went up to go change out of my clean PJs (my mom hates when I walk around my pajamas in the middle of the day haha).

While cooking and even after changing into some cooler clothes, I was BURNING UP. I have never been that hot before. I downed three bottles of water within an hour and my throat was still parched. The AC was on full blast and I could not get enough of it. I have no idea if again, I was spotting side effects that weren't there, or if this time it really was the medication making me feel like I was on fire.

It took a few hours for me to return back to my usual chilled state. But I'm telling you, that was a whole new ballgame.

. . . .

I called CVS Caremark again this morning, and they shipped my meds overnight today! So I should have them by tomorrow insha'Allah. Sort of excited, sort of nervous. More nervous, I think. We've been watching videos of how to do the shots, and I feel okay about those but my husband, who will be giving me the shots, is freaking out a little :) It honestly makes me feel a little better that he's nervous about something - does that make me cynical?

Anyway, last day of Letrozole tomorrow! I feel like I just started taking them. Honestly, I was expecting more side effects but am glad that I've been fairing pretty well overall, alhumdulillah.
