ET diagnosis finally sinking in

Finally got the blood test results which really haven’t changed but i am hopeful that relates to the Besremi that i didn’t do right and will improve on my next one. I am being seen by the local hospital and the Hammersmith in London. The Hammersmith blood results I can access on their website so the results are available while i am still in the waiting room waiting to see the consultant. I think my next test is at the end of June so that should give me a trend and see if things need to be changed.

Good evening @Chrispy, and everyone else, I hope that you haven’t all melted in the “heatwave” today; it got as high as 22.5 C here in the Midlands this afternoon, nice but hardly the end of the world!

I’m glad that you have had your results now and that there has been no deterioration in your blood work. I understand that Besremi is new to the medical fraternity as much as it is to us, so a “slowly, slowly, softly softly” approach is probably the best way forward, certainly as far as I can see. I am on 4 weekly jabs, at 125mcg, and my next jab is due on the 9th of May, with my clinical appointment on the 6th of June.

Dental wise, I have been able to get an appointment with my dentist for Thursday late afternoon, with the hope that the crown can simply be “re-cemented” back in place, which should be both quick and cheap! Sorry, I think my half-Scottish background came to the fore there!

Fingers crossed for your next set of bloods though.

As always, take care, stay safe, be kind to yourselves, keep smiling and remember your sunblock!

Best wishes,

Good afternoon @Chrispy and everyone else, hope you are all well and enjoying the better weather of the last few days.

Well I successfully administered my 3rd Besremi injection last night, so I am now confident in my abilities in that department. I just need to wait until early next month for my next blood tests, with the results due at my next appointment on the 6th of June.

Sorrow to report that my fatigue levels are still appallingly low, also my emotions are more “all over the place”, which is not my usual default setting.

Thankfully I was able to get my crown refitted within the week of its escape attempt, and without too much expense either!

As always everyone, stay safe, take care, be kind to yourselves (Copywright @Erica!) and keep on smiling.

Best wishes,
Jimbo165

Hi @Jimbo165 fatigue really is our bedfellow isn’t it.
I think for me when I really feel fatigued I also get run down and that is when my emotions are all over the place.
I also know it is far quicker for me to get run down than to build myself back up.
When my thoughts and emotions are all over the place they always verve to the negative.
Glad your escaped crown has been superglued after it’s bid for freedom.
I shall now take my copyright back and say be very kind to yourself and (copyright @Jimbo165) keep on smiling.

Hi @Jimbo165 I am still getting into the cycle of how i feel when on Besremi. I have the initial exhaustion the day after injecting then it fades to the tiredness at the end of the day rather than the whole day. I need to make the most of the morning as by late afternoon i am yawning and not up to doing anything.

Glad your crown is back in.
