I made sure I took paracetamol and codeine before my injection last night. It payed off as I only had a little discomfort, and actually had a good nights sleep.
I did a little bit of cooking today, as I had promised my dad I would bake him some sausage rolls. You wouldn't believe how much energy it took to open a packet of pastry and roll it around sausages, and put in the oven.
My ankles only had a little bit of discomfort so I'm hoping that's the end to this side effect for this first cycle. I've not had any nausea or reflux/indigestion at all, which is fantastic long may it continue. Constipation is continuing to be a problem, but like I said before I'm having to take iron pills, plus the codeine isn't helping that. I will just keep talking the laxido and eating high fiber foods.
I will take pain meds again tonight, and hopefully tomorrow, I'll cut them all out again, if I get no more pain.
