Wiped

I don't know if it's the pre-natals, birth control pills, thryoid pill (which should have the opposite effect), docycycline, baby aspirin, or Lupron injection-but today I'm wiped!  I had a hard time concentrating on my assignments, got teary eyed and stressed out trying to write my paper, and overall had a rough day today.  I started my day well--full of energy and at ease with doing the Lupron injection.  But by the middle of the day, I was a mess!  Looking forward to get a good night's rest and hopefully feeling better tomorrow.  Also, again not sure which one(s) are to blame, but having tummy problems today as well.  I am just a mess--I hope my body regulates itself and gets used to this new 'normal' level of hormones being coursed through my body.

Day 1

Lupron Day 1--Done!!  It wasn't too bad; I was so freaked out about it, it got into my dreams, and everything--but the actual injection was not that bad.  I iced the area before which I think totally helped; hubby put together the syringe, cleaned the area and it was over in seconds.  No big deal at all!

Day 1 meds:  Lupron 10 IU, Docycycline 2x day, thyroid pill, Pre-natal, BC, and BA.
Status:  Good, no initial side-effects, feeling pretty good and happy the first one done.


Class today--one more week to go--need to write two papers tonight/tomorrow.  Had a fun night with a few classmates at our local Mexican restaurant--had my last strawberry margarita for awhile!!  This week is flying!!  Happy Thursday all!!
