Day 4 of Lupron

The insanity has begun. I feel like everything is too much to handle right now and every little discussion with Farmie about something remotely stressful seems like a crisis.

I had a meltdown last night because we have to travel over the next few days. Lupron has to be refrigerated. It is so simple logically to figure out a way to bring it with us: a cooler...ice packs. However, emotionally I'm almost distraught with fear that the medication will be affected by temperature changes.

We're going on a two day trip with Farmie's family. His brother and family, sister and her family and his parents. There is a water park that they will be spending a lot of time at. I told Farmie that I wouldn't be joining in. For one...injection sites kind of gross me out and all I have are bikinis. Two: I don't want to be in water where babies in diapers are playing in when I have injection sites (just a little bit of a germ issue). Three: yesterday was my last day of my birth control so I have been and will continue bleeding.

I've told Farmie that I think it's already affecting me hormonally/emotionally. He's trying his best to be delicate with me. He cuddled with me after our argument last night and I rarely need that, but I needed it last night.

No one said this would be easy. I knew that I would most likely be affected this way by Lupron. I just hope that all this time with family in combination with the drugs doesn't create a major meltdown. Fingers crossed...

Agreed, no one said it would be easy, just worth it=) I know you will find a way to make the temp changes work and keep the lupron safe. Have fun and good luck!

don't forget a copy of your prescription, note from doctor, and any other medical notation you can think of... I find over preparation much more relaxing. Also death by chocolate.

It is so difficult to be such an emotional mess!
I'm edgy today and I haven't even started the Lupron...
Hang in there! Hopefully this will lead you to the results you're wanting.
Good luck with the family!!
The holidays are stressful enough without the added hormonal mood swinging drugs.

I wish I could reach out & give you a hug to comfort you. Sometimes things seem a wee bit too much. Times like this, it is good to take stock of things and focus on our Lord; seeking His Divine Help & then focus on things that make you happy. Pray & seek solace from Him.
