Tips and advice for any physical side effects of treatment
The hot sweats have been a nightmare! I have about 15-20 a day and they are associated with having just eaten or drunk a hot drink, and a stressful event. They pass quickly but leave me in a cold sweat and chilled. Fan and hankie crucial!
How this treatment impacted my life the most
It has increased my weight and reduced my muscle strength and stamina. I have to be very careful what I eat to keep my weight down. I feel a bit low and unwell for a day or two after the injection, which I have every 28 days. It can be painful and swollen at the site of the injection for a few days.
