I feel so lethargic 2-3 days prior to my hormone therapy injection day. I'm entirely unmotivated. Apparently this is what is referred to as "the valley" and it's not fun. Like all things, it seems, what goes up must come down.
I have a lot of energy and motivation immediately after my injection. And it lasts for about a week. For instance, the last time I injected I ended up staying up all night working and only slept about 4 hours. And then I woke up and worked more. Then, throughout the week, I bicycled all over the place, went hiking, socialized - basically, I had a lot of energy.
And then I start to putter out.
putt... putt... putt...
The puttiest of putt days is today. I got 10 hours of sleep last night, yet I'm feeling absolutely exhausted. My brain is feels like a muddy puddle - a fog.
Uggggh.
I am so sorry that you feel so bad hun. Hurry up and feel better. <3
ReplyDeletehmm... interesting. I don't really get that feeling... I feel slightly tired on the day before my injection but not the way you describe it at all. Maybe it's because I inject 100mg weekly? I know the testosterone is made to release for 2 weeks. I haven't had any weirdness from the T and It's been 14 weeks. Maybe you should consider weekly injections?
ReplyDeleteHope ya feel better!!
That sort of describes how I feel most days. Can't explain why, and most doctors just attribute it to depression.
ReplyDeleteJess: I didn't feel it initially, actually. I've only started really feeling it these past few months, progressively more and more. I'm not quite sure why, but my body definitely looks forward to injection days.
ReplyDeleteBoyd: That's no good! Especially if it actually is depression. Have you sought counseling help for it?
ReplyDeleteHey there, please take a sec and sign my petition, which is linked on my blog, asking the Canadian government to include animal rights in the constitution. And ask others to sign too:)
ReplyDeleteCheers!
I feel for you...i deal with similar (yet completely different, lol) ups/downs, peaks/valleys--but not because of injections...mine is just an imbalance in general...how long have you been doing the injections? Not to be a total "dummy" but I'm not completely well read on the subject...are the injections a forever thing or just up to a certain phase?
