Well then.

Sore at the injection site for about ten days, a small firm lump under the skin. The pharmacist looked at it, was unbothered, and told me to move further round next time.

The nausea has a shape to it now. Thursday teatime it starts, Friday it peaks, Saturday afternoon it lifts. Once I could see the pattern it stopped feeling like something happening to me at random.

Very tired. Not the kind of tired a nap fixes. I slept nine hours and woke feeling as though I had been awake all night.

Right. Bed.

Same on the four o'clock waking. I have found nothing that fixes it but I have found it helps to know I am not alone in it.

Ninth week for me too and I also nearly stopped. Glad neither of us did, so far.

Do you want to come to the Thursday circle? You would not have to say anything.

Take the win. Two flights of stairs is two flights of stairs.
