That was a trip

For the first two injections I went to bed pretty immediately in hopes to sleep through the roughest of the side effects. Tonight however a friend of mine was down the street and I had told a different friend I would likely be out and about so I decided to venture out and see how I do. I got to the coffee shop a little after 10pm and seemed okay so I decided to go to stay out. By about 11:20pm I'm shaking and my legs feel cold but I can also tell that I'm sweating. A friend also told me a little while later that I didn't look very good either. Around midnight I decide to walk home and just barely being in the cold air was too much to handle. Thankfully one of my friends offered me a ride home. Now I am snacking on some food trying to wind down and call it a night. Not so sure I'll decide to venture out on a lot of Friday nights here for awhile. I have to next week but I think I'll take my shot whenever I get home instead of before I leave the house.

Success!

I'm pleased to say I prepared and took my shot all by myself! This is mostly a big deal because I've been so scared to be alone and there were several failed attempts tonight at getting the redipen set up properly. Then I gave myself the shot quickly without freaking out. Hopefully it continues to get easier from here!

Not a good day

Today is rough. I feel more fragile than I have in awhile. All morning I've just wanted to cry. Everything I eat over the last few days gives me heartburn if not pure nausea. I've also had headaches pretty bad and I guess today is just a breaking point. I really wish I wasn't at work today.
