Hi what’s maintenance stage like for ALL
Thank you
Hi,
I have not started Maintenance yet but I do know someone who has just finished so can pass along what she told me. Do you know what protocol you are on as they are all a little different. But feelings wise she told me she felt quite normal and didn't have any side effects apart from a little nausea which was handled with anti-sickness. My consultant told me that for the most part once I started I could go back to my normal life (covid changes that a little I think).
Did you have any specific questions? I could ask my friend for you or if you wanted there is a young adults charity called trekstock which have a a facebook pages, I find asking questions on there to be quite useful.
Hope I've been a little bit helpful!
