9th Day of Lupron

After I took my 9th shot last night, I still carry the headache. So before I went to bed, I took another 1 500mg of Tylenol. I slept around 11pm. During the night, I felt some light hot flashes. I didn't sweat this time. I just felt hot. I remembered pulling away the comforter of my bed but that was it. I was able to sleep and even dream.

I woke up this morning with no bad headache. Alleluiah! You know how happy I am to be in this state. I guess therefore, my headache was coming from my period. I don't believe Lupron did it. But one thing for sure, the itchiness of my left fingers are my side effects. Until now, I still feel the itch but if I don't really mind it, I will not noticed it.

I am also feel relief. I got my medications at work this morning. When I spoke with my nurse yesterday, the person in charge at the doctor's office didn't process my approval notification for the insurance because the lady who was responsible to do the process was out sick. If she's sick, she could have at least ask around to let somebody do the work when it's time essential. If I didn't bug them about the status of my approval, I could have been in trouble not getting my medication on time. But praise for my coordinator on stepping up and do the work.

So tomorrow will be my E2 and ultrasound. I am hoping and praying that everything will set as plan. Oh Lord hear my prayer.

8th day of Lupron

I had my worst nightmare.. HEADACHE! I thought I can be spared. It started too early today. Maybe around 3am. I woke up with a heavy head. Also, the hot flashes was bothering me. I was sweating also sometime 5pm I believe. Man, now I know what other people are saying. Or maybe, it’s because AF showed up. I often have headaches before AF or when I have it. Perhaps, it could be the reason.

At 8am today, I took one Tylenol. It was working for 1.5 hours and as of this writing, my head is like pressing on me hard. Oh my my! I hope it’s just AF that give me this ache. I hope it’s not Lupron. I don’t want to name it as a devil drug. I want to be positive about it.

I also spoke with my nurse coordinator today. She informed me the good news that the medicine are already approved and she called the pharmacy to send the medicine today. Yay! I am a happy bird! I was very worried about it for weeks already. Now, it’s okay. I can relax my mind. I asked about taking Tylenol with my headache too and she said it’s not a problem as long as it’s within the recommended dosage. So far I only took one but if I can't take it anymore, I will add more.

My Lupron Side Effects after 2 shots

I already had my two shots. My husband administer the injection at night and we always have it around 8:30. Not exactly on sharp but within the time frame. I have read that as long as you take every shot within the 2  hours time frame, it will be okay.

On to my side effects, I am not pretty sure as of this time but one evident that I noticed was my tingling and itchiness of my left pinky finger yesterday sometime around 5pm. It was so strange that when I touched the areas, it is a little bit painful. I have the discomfort every time I moved it or touched something. I have also noticed the headache after a few hours of the shot. I don't know for sure, if it's the shot causing it or it's just because I have been battling with seasonal sickness. I also had a headache around 5pm.

Last night shot, after few hours with my already aching head it's evidently the medicine is kicking in my head. I tried to sleep with not taking any tylenol. After I woke up this morning, I feel fine. But then I wake up with being hungry and headache. I don't know if being hungry causes the headache. Still not too sure about it.

Anyway, I have observed the tingling and itchiness of my left pinky finger moved to my left big thumb now. So therefore, this I guarantee is one of my side effects. I have to do the process of elimination after my cold flu symptoms are gone and I will make an update on it.
