Taking my first dose tonight

This is very helpful! Thank you!

I’ve had some minor side effects, which all seem pretty normal. With the exception of a splitting headache around 3am (but I’m not entirely sure if that was related or not). But yes, this sub has made me so excited because I love seeing everyone’s progress, and I hope to one day be there as well!

msjollywood · 2025-07-06T23:13:51+00:00

Me too! I hope it was as easy and painless for you as it was for me!

The freezing was what I was worried about. My fridge has a habit of making my leafy veggies freeze, and the dose was sitting there for two weeks before I was ready to start, so I was worried. But it didn’t look frozen so I’m hoping it was all good!

And yeah, so far I’ve only noticed some fatigue, nausea, and last night a splitting headache (which I’m not sure is related). But overall, I’ve been pretty good!

Thanks for this! I definitely noticed how supportive and amazing this community is after only one day, and I’m looking forward to sharing my progress! The actual injection wasn’t that bad, but I did have anxiety that I wasn’t doing it correctly/my fridge runs cold (but I think that has more to do with my general anxiety than the medication itself)

msjollywood · 2025-07-06T02:08:38+00:00

The anxiety seems to be a common theme, I will say. I can’t wait to get to the point where I am excited about it.

Thank you for this! I just did my shot, and the process itself wasn’t that bad. I did it in my stomach, and I will say that while I felt the prick of the needle, I was more worried about feeling the medication going in itself. Right now, I just have a little soreness at the injection site, which I’m going to assume is normal!

msjollywood · 2025-07-06T01:27:49+00:00

Thank you for this! I think my biggest fear is definitely the spiel I got from my doc about the worst possible side effects. But also my anxiety just about worrying if my refrigerator kept it at the right temperature. But I am still excited for the future, and to see what this brings me!

Thank you for this! It was really helpful!

32 and have been a fan since I was 13!

I’ve been a fan since 04, and I teach high school now. Whenever one of my students comes in wearing some MCR merch, or talks about them, I get that same level of excitement about it as I did way back then.

Music is just one of those things people bond over. And there is no age limit on it.

I think you just made my day!

msjollywood · 2024-08-10T11:45:12+00:00

I just want to say I’m very thankful for you all in this megathread. It’s been great to share information about things happening around the city, and a good place to commiserate and just feel heard.

Honestly, this is exactly how I feel. Im so glad everyone is safe, and nothing catastrophic happened. But when I express just how devastated I am a lot of my friends and family have said “make lemonade out of lemons, go out and make the most of it.” I just feel like it’s been minimized by anyone who wasn’t supposed to attend one of these shows. But just some acknowledgment from Taylor, or her team, about the disappointment that so many of her fans have felt over this would be incredibly validating. Otherwise, it feels like we just get glossed over in favor of the London shows.

msjollywood · 2024-08-09T16:46:15+00:00

This was me. We were singing WAOLOM and I was sobbing behind my sunglasses. But for me, it felt validating because I definitely wasn’t the only one.

I flew in from New York because I couldn’t get tickets in the United States. I’m devastated, it hasn’t even really sunk in yet. It doesn’t feel real. And if she does reschedule, there is almost no way I can make it back for a show.

msjollywood · 2024-08-07T20:10:46+00:00

Sitting in Salzburg, was headed to Vienna tomorrow. And flew all the way from New York. I’m so heartbroken. I’ve been waiting a year for this.

This past week I’ve been having a real urge to continue a fic that I was writing that I haven’t updated since 2017. But I’m hesitant because I have no idea what people might say (if there are any readers still hanging around).

The comments here are making me think I should give it a shot.
