The third week of the cycle is the best, relatively speaking. Fatigue continues to be a problem, and last night I got a hint of a headache. My CPAP humidifier seems to be drying up over night, and that may relate to the head. I am waiting for the neuropathy to abide completely and worried that it won't. It is certainly better this week than last: much less edema, but still alot of sensitivity. The worry is that if some persists into the next cycle it will be further amplified and more permanent. With hearing loss as an issue, if one has a temporary threshold shift one is okay so long as the hearing returns to normal before the next shift and it can be repeatedly shifted without permanent damage, i.e., permanent hearing loss. Permanent damage occurs when more hearing shifts occur without a return to normal hearing. That way there is deafness. I don't know that this is a good analogy. But I would be relieved if the neuropathy was gone before next week.
So I have a week to play in. Ate out in an actual restaurant for lunch today and it was great. And there is dinner out with friends tonight. I will be exhausted but happy.
