I’m 6 days into first lot of ec and feel really sick, lethargic and achy. How long does this awful feeling last?
I’ve had 5 of 6 EC and experienced the same symptoms. I found the first 7 days after the worst but getting out for a walk and resting when your body tells you helps also taking the anti - sickness tablets. I look forward to my afternoon nap Hope it all becomes manageable soon and wish you the best
