FATIGUE

 

Let's talk about WEGOVY side effects.

They have really kicked in since my dose went up to 1.7 mgs a week.

1.  Constipation.  Yep, that's been ongoing for a while now, so medicinal 'help' was necessary.-

2. Feeling ill when you overeat.

3. Fatigue

I have 'suffered' from all of them now.  #2 not that often, as I simply do not overeat at all anymore.

The biggest side effect right now is #3 FATIGUE.  I am constantly bone tired.  Like I get up in the morning, and within an hour or so all I want to do is go back to bed!

It's crazy.  And if I do lie down, I will pretty much go to sleep like it's midnight already.  As I said, it's crazy and I don't know what to do about it.

The literature says most side effects don't last.

I hope that's correct, for sure.

I have one more dose at 1.7 mgs, then I go up to the highest dose of 2.4 mgs.

Maybe once I've been on the 2.4 mgs for a month or so things will settle down?

I'm planning on staying on the 2.4 mgs for about three months, then I'll start weaning myself down again, until I am off it completely.

I know literally EVERYONE has said the weight will come back on if you stop taking the drug... but I firmly believe it will be down to my own will power.  

I'm not going to spend literally THOUSANDS of dollars to get to my desired weight, to then just throw it all away again.  NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

I know how to maintain, I WILL DO IT.

Now back to 'normal' transmission... it's Coffee & Chat this morning.  I am not going on a walk today, yesterday was enough till tomorrow. 

Tomorrow I'm off to Cambridge for an FBG walk, I can't wait to catch up with everyone.

I will be going to the supermarket sometime today, we need just a couple of bits 'n' bobs.

ABOVE:  Later on, probably after lunch, I'll get back into Crabby Quarters and carry on with the Placemats.  

I started watching a series on Netflix a couple of days ago, and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

It's called Will Trent.  If you like crime programmes, you will enjoy it too I think.  The cast are excellent.

Premise: Based on the bestselling novels by Karin Slaughter, the show follows a quirky, sharply dressed GBI special agent with dyslexia who uses his unique perspective from growing up in the foster care system to solve complex cases in Atlanta.

ONWARD...

1.15 pm.  All my jobs out and about are done.  It took a bit of time as I had to go here and there, and the traffic today was mental! 

I will be having a quiet evening, I'm not going to the pub or the kids tonight.  I'm not in the mood and been told to stay away as kids have colds.  

Stew can walk himself up to, and back from the pub, that is one of the bonus's of living near the local.

I just had my lunch and am feeling BLA, so will just sit and vegetate for a while.  I might not do any sewing today, I'm actually in a bit of a shitty mood.

8.44 pm.  I ended up walking up to the pub with Stew, and stayed about an hour, then came home again.  Stew turned up 90 minutes later, and now we are just sitting whiling away the evening in front of the TV.

So a really quiet day in all.  Catch ya tomorrow.
