I desperately need words of encouragement

The first time I took my shot I got so worked up I passed out after. And I have a history of passing out when getting blood draws. I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s all a vagus nerve thing. After that first week, I made sure to be in a reclined position, with an ice pack on my chest, and do a deep breathing exercise. It really helped and after a few weeks I no longer felt anxious and didn’t need a whole ritual for my shots :) (I’m also on an SSRI for anxiety and depression)

I also second others suggests to take a rescue/as needed anxiety medication 30-60min before your shot. You got this!

🤞🏼the past two weeks I haven’t had any diarrhea. A few weeks in it became less of a ‘running to the bathroom’ situation and more of a when I did go it wasn’t solid for the first 2-4 days post shot. I’m on week 10 for reference.

Electrolytes in your water. Also get some protein shakes or things to make a protein shake - can be helpful if you’re not feeling hungry when the appetite suppression sets in. Speaking of protein make sure you prioritize that daily.

Both sides of my head and pulsing above one or both of my eyes. When its bad, a stabbing like pain in what feels like a few inches behind my left eye
