started CK today

[Susan B]

I know I only wrote one time when I got my original diagnosis of AN but I have continued to read a lot on this site. I mainly didn't write back because I forgot once again how to post. I can report that I am a kaiser patient who has been getting really good care at Oyster Point (South San Fran) and Redwood City. I choose CK and had my first treatment today. I wish I had talked / written to more people. I had convinced myself that I was prepared but felt really stressed lying there. The said I did well but they adjusted the mask tighter midway to keep even minimal movement under control. My heart was racing and I had chills up and down my arms and legs. i didn't signal for them to stop because i just wanted it over. My daughter recorded a CD for me but we are changing it to more classical type music tomorrow. Hopefully now that I know what to expect I will stay a little calmer. Hope this gets posted correctly and thanks to everyone that wrote to my original post the end of November.

Hi, Susan ~

Thanks for posting your first-day CK 'report'.  I'm sorry you were so nervous but it seems as if you got through it fairly well, all things being considered.  I trust your future treatments will be less stressful and, of course, completely successful!
