Day 15: Pain

No more brave words about how this is just “unpleasant.”

Nope. Have to admit, it hurts. I had difficulty driving this morning, because my neck was so painful that I could barely turn my head.  It is a little better now…perhaps that is because of the Efudex cream itself, which I applied after my drive to the pharmacy.

This morning  was the 28th application…it is taking longer now because the skin is so tender, it hurts to spread the cream. But 28….that is twice a day for two weeks…a minor milestone. One more week and the cream stops. I know the battle isn’t over then, but I think I will have more options for treating the symptoms.

    Hang in there Fritz. Try whatever you can for relief. What about a warm or cool compress? Stay hydrated and try to put something on to soothe it. I’m right here with you - if you need anything, just holler :-)
