This is now officially one of the worst experiences of my life. Two of the top three have involved neupogen, a white blood stimulant. In fairness, it worked spectacularly this time around (0.5 to 14.7 in less than 48 hours) but the pain and other side effects were horrible.
I'm better now, but this morning I was still super tired and a doctor decided for some reason that this might be due to neurological problems as opposed to, you know, not getting any sleep during the night. So a couple of hours later a nurse came in and told me I would be getting a steroid later in the day. This immediately raised my suspicions. "What kind of steroid?" Do I even have to tell you that it's dexamethasone, aka the Evil Dex?
I'm going to try to talk my way out of this. I'm genuinely not suffering any neurological problems, and I really don't want to be up all night again. We'll see.
In the meantime, enjoy this coronation video.
