Cautious Optimism

It's been two weeks since I started my treatment (NB: I have to think of a better term than "treatment." Maybe...the BatShots? I just saw Dark Knight Rises and it was awesome. Yeah, I like that.) 

Typing "bat syringe" into Google Images is even more horrifying than typing in "female robot." Don't do it.

It's been two weeks since I had my first BatShot. Maybe it's psychological, but up until yesterday I was feeling good. Really good. No tummy troubles, just a minor backache one day and a few strange cramps another. I was pretty excited.

Then three days ago I got my period, which the nurse said might happen the first month. I was a little miffed, but it wasn't so bad at first. Yesterday was the worst day, and it was a curl-up-under-the-covers and eat a lot of candy day. With my trusty Magic Bag and Advil. No need for Buscopan, though. I must say, out of all the crazy side effects I'm expecting, not having another period for 5 months is the most appealing. 

Least appealing? Hot flashes.

I've also felt extremely fragile emotionally. If I had a TV, I'm sure I'd be crying at Hallmark commercials. And for all the people who didn't win gold at the Olympics. They tried so hard!

Hopefully my emotions will even out and my good days will continue to increase while my bad days fade away. Fingers crossed.
