Ah, sorry. I am doing better but not great still.
I did my injection on Sunday lunchtime, ate as normal most of the day, was sick before bed that evening.
Monday I didn't eat anything, I managed around 2/3 of a lucozade sport and a few grapes
trying not to dehydrate, felt more and more lethargic as the day went on.
Tuesday I forced a banana down in about 5 attempts, managed a couple of paracetomol as well.
Yesterday I got a bit more in, 2 bananas, a couple of rice cakes, fluids are going down a lot easier since yesterday too, Had some chicken and potato (plain) in the evening and got through more than I was expecting, most of a chicken breast and half a potato probably?
Today I feel a bit more normal over all, this is the first day I haven't been completely exhausted all day, still don't want to eat anything though but I'm managing to get some food in.
I've also had some side effects I wasn't expecting
- I haven't been able to sleep more than a couple of hours in one go despite being soooo tired, I'be been waking up 10+ times in the night for a wee, can't get comfortable, can't get back to sleep.
- My skin has been really sore, all across my shoulder blades, my chest, inside my elbows and my neck are the worst but it's everywhere to an extent. I remember reading somewhere about skin irritation but figured people were talking about the injection site.
- I haven't wanted to do anything, I've just been sat on the sofa, haven't played video games, can't even be bothered to watch a movie, just doing nothing.
Other than that it's all stuff I was expecting, haven't pooped, I feel cold, have a headache, no appetite etc, I definitely wouldn't reccomend 9mg as a starter dose.
All in all I'm on the mend though, feeling better each day. I went out with the dogs this afternoon (with my wife who has been walking them alone) and it wiped me out a bit but nice to stretch my legs. Hopefully back in the gym and back to normal by the weekend.
Oh I also lost 6kg, obviously not muscle or fat, mostly water from what I can tell, I don't look any leaner from dropping water but the skin on my feet looks incredibly thin the last few days.
I'll post an update for those who are interested in a few days when I'm hopefully back to normal.
