Back home now.
The biggest side-effect during the infusion was having to pee twice - likely due to the D5W and the Oxaliplating liquid. I lost a little feeling in my fingertips and it takes a bit more effort to type and I have had some slight feelings of arthritis in my palms. I Went outside and felt the cold sensitivity due to the wind (it's about 40 degrees outside). I was covered except for my face so that's where it hit but I've been used to really bitter temperatures in the past due to the winters here so it wasn't too bad.
I drove home as my son was on a conference call and that was no problem. I got home and picked up a cold glass of water and the initial reaction was not quite pain but a lot of discomfort. I also picked up other cold objects and the cold sensitivity decreased as I held other cold things. My home office is probably 45 degrees right now so everything around me is cold. I wasn't brave enough to drink the cold water.
My wife brought me a bowl of chicken ball rice porridge and I had an ache - I guess it's that first bite thing that folks here talk about. It wasn't a sharp pain but something noticeable. I can taste the flavors in the porridge. I don't feel any tiredness though the nurse said that symptoms can kick in at any time. So, I'd say that the symptoms are as advertised but it sounds scary when others talk about it.
