Hi @JL15 I’m sorry you’re experiencing these symptoms. We would really encourage you to give your clinical nurse specialist or another member or your healthcare team as soon as you can to talk this through with them. It’s really important they’re aware of what you’re experiencing. If you’re feeling really unwell at any point, call 999 or go to A&E.

Please don’t hesitate to call us on the support line if you want to talk anything through. Our number is 0808 2080 888.
