It's been seven days of shots so far. It's amazing how easily it becomes routine. It's still not pleasant, but not horrible either. I'm lucky - I've been sticking pretty closely to a plant-based, whole grain, no alcohol diet and haven't experienced any weight gain. I've also been bullish on sleep. One of the major side effects of the medication is insomnia, and while falling asleep has been easy, staying asleep is difficult some nights. For me drinking herbal tea and reading a book/magazine, rather than grabbing my iPhone helps.
Since the doctor's appointments have remained the same (ultrasound and blood test every 3-4 days), there's not much new to report. Instead I filmed the injection routine that I do every evening. It takes about 10 minutes total - 5 vials, 2 medications, 1 shot.
