Starting while working nights — what do I do about injection day

Similar here, and mine turned out to be a completely unrelated deficiency picked up on bloods.

Reading the opening post, I recognised more of that than I expected to.

I have been in this circle a year and this question comes round every few months. It is not a silly question. It is the question.

the reply above — yes, and the bit that took me longest to accept was the next part.

Different experience here, for balance. Mine did not improve and in the end I stopped, and that was the right call for me. Both outcomes exist.

What helped was lowering my own expectations of the week rather than trying to hold the week together.

Please do not read the comments under news articles about this. I lost a fortnight to that.

I asked my nurse the same question and she said something I have repeated ever since: that the aim is to keep you on treatment, not to get you up the schedule.

I am about four months behind you and I have been dreading exactly this, so thank you for writing it down before I got there.

What the reply above described happened to me too, in a slightly different order.

Yes. All of this. I had the same in my third month and I remember thinking there was something specifically wrong with me, which there was not.

Mine lasted about seven weeks and then lifted over a few days. I cannot tell you why. I can tell you it lifted.

Two things that helped me, neither of them clever: small amounts more often, and drinking a lot more than felt necessary.

The phrase that unlocked my appointment was asking what specifically she wanted me to watch for. It moved us from reassurance to a plan in about thirty seconds.

Coming back to this a fortnight later to say it settled. Leaving the update because I hate reading threads that stop.

I did exactly the same and felt terrible about it. You have not done anything wrong.
