Have been on the lower dose for 4 days now.Already feeling less nauseous, but have to say I feel just as knackered. I guess as it took weeks to get in my system it will take some time for things to improve? Had my hair cut/coloured today and hairdresser reports theres not so much falling out!! Still feeling optimistic about a return to work in January.......but have only just realised that it is only a few weeks away now. Time for positive thinking and determination!

Hi Penny, so glad that you got the dosage reduced and are already feeling less sick. I think that the knackered feeling is more to do with the illness and will take some time to get better. It is definitely a case of pacing yourself and gradually building up to former energy levels and stamina. As long as you have an understanding boss, you should be fine to go back to work on a casual basis to start with but Maybe don't expect to do much else on workdays. My experience is that in the first year, I always paid if I overdid it with overwhelming fatigue so now I try not to push my luck too much but still have a good quality of life and energy levels are back to normal. For example, if I know I am going to have a busy week working hard, we don't tend to go out in the evenings that week. So have faith, you will go back to work and enjoy a normal life again! Have a great Christmas and a happy and healthier 2014! J x

ReplyDeleteThanks for keeping everything crossed it seems to have worked as alt levels are down from 600 to 400, I was feeling really positive so decided to go for a nice long walk yesterday but boy did I pay for it, good luck for tomorrow I hope it goes well for you, am back in a fortnight so if you want to keep your fingers crossed for me that would be great ( ha ha ) take care and I hope you have a great new year xx
ReplyDeleteAhh......I'm still learning not to overdo it...........you always pay, it's so unfair! Glad your bloods are improving, will keep crossing everything!
