the tingles are back

You know when your hand or foot goes to sleep and when it wakes up it tingles and the tingles make you want to shake it?  My left foot has started doing that again.  I say “again” because before I had radiation my foot would swell up when I was on my feet too much and when I would lay down to nap or sleep it would tingle.  It isn’t really strong and it wasn’t then, but I do have the urge to move it around or shake it. It’s annoying as hell.  I don’t know that a reason was ever found for it but I thought, once I knew I had METS in my left pelvis, that it was pressing on a nerve.

I don’t know what it means that it’s back.  I know I’ve been on my feet more this week because I’ve had the energy to do more purging of my apartment and that may be what has agravated it, but it is unsettling.  My next oncology appointment isn’t until the 13th where I find out about my last CT scan.  Maybe that will shed some light on it.

One of the horrible things about MBC is knowing that it isn’t if it progresses, it’s when will it progress.  Every new little twitch and ache and pain makes me apprehensive.
