Yesterday DOGSTARS asked me if I had any side effects of taking Trulicity? I have not mentioned them to be honest as I wasn't 100% sure they were true side effects or not.
But now? I'm pretty sure I do have a couple of significant side effects.
One is extreme tiredness, way more than usual.
And the other is constipation. I'm never constipated, quite the opposite in fact.
I've had 'the opposite problem' ever since I had my gall bladder out over 20 years ago. That operation was truly life altering, something I was certainly not warned about prior to having my gall bladder out.
Let me tell you, it dictates where you can go, when you can eat, and what you can do... all dictated by where the nearest loo is!
So it's been rather weird having constipation I can tell you. NOT something I am used to. I have had 6 days go by in one stretch, but usually it's 3-4 days between bathroom visits! (#2's)
TMI? Well I'm just letting ya know the in's and out's of taking a new drug! 😂😏
Mild laxatives have been necessary, thanks for the drugs Lacy and Bex!
Now. Moving on.
I think he looks lovely.
Now, back to today. I'm off to Cambridge this morning for an FBG walk. I'll be home by lunchtime, when I will head into the sewing room to make a start on 6 Kiwiana Braid Runners.
Filling the gaps.
ONWARD...
12.15 pm: home from Cambridge. It was another longer walk today, and the company was lovely. I stayed for a hot chocolate and club sandwich as well, which we shall call lunch.
According to my friends walking app, we did 6.73 kms today.
That's getting up there in kms I must say.
Now that I'm home, I'm feeling the cold, so I've put the heater on. A bit later on I'll get into the sewing room.
Mum swears by Kiwi Crush to combat constipation. She has one every day to keep things flowing as she has a stoma so cannot afford to get backed up.
ReplyDeleteThat tea sounds yum. Wish I could get it here. I love flavoured teas. I drink coffee now but don't mind tea now and then. Also, I hear ya re the gall bladder side effects. Had mine out in my mid 20s and been just like you ever since. Even after my bypass surgery. In fact, it was so much worse for months after! Still hits me sometimes out of the blue! Glad the Trulicity is working for you. That's a plus! And Stew looks very handsome on that jumper. Suits his playful nature, too. xx Colleen
ReplyDeleteHmmm, those side effects sound manageable. And perhaps they will subside as you (your body) gets used to the medicine. I hope your issues don't leave you with a bellyache! The sweatshirt and the painting blend together in the photo! You need one in shades of blues and turquoise!
ReplyDeleteHi I am having the opposite problem to you...lol....Peta
ReplyDeleteGrandmothers garden, has sold and they have a month to get out. So all fabric is $12 a metre even if it says different on their website. Thought you might like to get some fabric !
ReplyDeleteYes I got their email today, and will certainly be looking at what they have left. Thanks.
DeleteHow adorable are those girls… together.
ReplyDeleteI too have major toilet issues and so wish I could be constipated.
I honestly don't know which is worse! HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you!
DeleteJelly BEans after dinner? Is that a thing? Like mints are here? I'd rather have jelly beans!
ReplyDeleteSome places do mints, some do jelly beans. I LOVE the Jelly Beans.
DeleteWow wow wow that sweatshirt is gorgeous and it suits Stew to a T! Kj
