Hi had my first one of 3 EC Thursday, felt on top of the world when I came home but Friday Saturday and Sunday felt washed out no sickness thankgod , hope the week ahead will get better , fingers crossed xx
Hi . I found it really useful to keep a diary of the symptoms during cycle Ie day one treatment then each day to 21 . A pattern tends to form so you can plan for the good days as your system recovers before next one .
I had EC x6 and found around around day 10 to 15 I would start to feel better
hope this helps
I'm on day 5 of having first EC i was really hoping I would start feeling slightly better I find the mornings worse I just feel so washed out cant focus...Will ot get better xx
I had FEC and found it hard to get going but into second week gradually can do more. Keep fighting we will get there
