I'm almost a week out of injection 2. The soreness and swelling from the shot is minimal now. However, my hot flashes have increased significantly. I think the fact that I do drink wine adds to the flashes. I was reading online that Black Cohosh might alleviate some symptoms, so I'm off to get some tomorrow.
I've noticed no abdominal bloating since I had my last cycle. Last month this time, my stomach was big and hard by now. There's a noticeable shrinkage with the larger fibroid, but I"m not sleeping well at all. If I don't take a sleep aid, I won't sleep. Also, my anxiety has increased (I was already a worrywart) but now I feel paranoid. I'm working to manage it and I think the supplement will help. Next month I am focused on my exercise and nutrition a little more coming out the sugary, booze filled holidays. I have had some knee pain, but advil cleared that up. I have no regrets about taking the shot, but I do think I underestimated the injection side effects.
