Zoladex injection Take one

April 4th, 2013 at 4pm I recieved my first injection of Zoladex.

Questions:

Did it hurt? No, they place litocane on your abdomen and rub it into the muscle so your don't feel the capsule they are injecting under your skin. I laid there for five minutes for the cream to absorb. The nurse said, " You will feel a pinch and some discomfort." All I  felt was  what can be described as a pin prick and was shocked it was done with in a seconds.

Does it bruise? Yes, a little but not bad at all. Very tiny.

Does it hurt the whole day? Not really, some stiffness but really you carry on not noticing unless your jeans rubbed up on it. Then it was just an annoying feeling.

Can you carry on with normal activities? Yes, though I choose not to workout because I did not want to rush the Zoladex into my system, rather take it slow and see how my reaction would be.

Can you workout? Yes, they recommend you do while on this drug. One of the side effects from my research is weight gain, due to water retention, and I personally don't want to gain  what I am working so hard at lossing. So my goal maintain. There are reports of losing weight. Plus Working out helps the pain!

Did you feel anything the first night? Yes, I got really cold when my house was 70 degrees. Also got light headed and sat down. After an hour I was fine. This occurred three hours after the injection. Think it was just on my mind so I did things to not think about it.

( To my family and friends I love you, you have been awesome handling my mood swings before this, please hang on it is going to be a bumpy ride before it gets better.)


Zoladex:

Zoladex (Goserelin) Therapy:  Chemotherapy. This changes the way your body produces hormones and causes the body to temporarily stop production of estrogen and proestrogen in order to help your condition which is worsened by the overproduction of these hormones.

This is to be taken a total of six times in a six month period and has to be done so every 28 days on time or the drug will lose it's effect.

First month what to expect: Trust me I will let you know how this goes. All about being real and honest about this therapy to help guide you. This is what I was told and on the sheet given to me.
The first dose may result in heavy painful periods since it will at first stimulate your hormonal production for the first 7-14 days, then supresses hormone production afterwards. *Your first dose does not stop your period, so expect one on your first injection* and the next five to stop you menstrual cycle. While your hormone levels are adjusting to Zoladex, you may notice *your symptoms of endo INCREASE this is ONLY TEMPORARY during first month*.

Common Side effects: (reminder this is Chemotherapy)
Hot flashes, sweating, headaches, dizziness
Mood Changes, increased or decreased interest in sex ( My Dr. says there is a cream for that lol)
Vaginal dryness
Initial breast swelling or tenderness in the first month
Bone pain
Diarrhea, constipation
Sleep problems insomnia
Acne, mild skin rashes or itching
Weight gain, loss of appetite, weight loss can go either way. (Contact Dr. if your weight gain is fast)
Limit your drinking
Nausea
Hair loss
Facial hair
Increase heart rate (Contact Dr. if it gets to be a concern.)
( This is what I have found so far. There are bigger underlining allegeric reactions, you can find this all online.)

Recommended
Lots of rest
Diet and exercise.

Okay folks I will check back in at the end of this week.
So far day three, loss of appetite and waves of nausea. Was really dizzy but it passed. Going to go onto a gluten free/ sugar free diet or at least Clean eating to help with inflamation. I know this is bad but I can't go with out my coffee, I can only give so much to this darn endo. I'm a single mother/ teacher who needs her coffee fix or doom to us all. However, that being said I will lower my intake of it.  Will discuss Endo diets later. Take a look I dare you. Basically, they want us to eat like rabbits. Grr. This is no fun. For workouts I am going to do Bodyrock or dailyhiit and run.

    1. Am pela, thanks to Dr Osaze who cured me of fallopian tube blockage and fibroid with his herbal tuber cleanser. My marriage was on the verge of collapsing, because I was unable to bear a child for my husband. Until I came across Dr osaze's recommendation on line, and I contacted him. And he administered his herbs on me. I now have a child I can call my own. In case you want to contact him for a similar problem, or all other issues, you can reach him through his email:

  3. I never believed in Love Spells or Magics until i met this special spell caster when i went to Africa to Execute some business. He is really powerful. My husband divorce me with no reason for almost 4 years and i tried all i could to have him back cos i really love him so much but all my effort did not work out, we met at our early age at the college and we both have feelings for each other and we got married happily for 5 years with no kid and he woke up one morning and he told me he’s going on a divorce, i thought it was a joke and when he came back from work he tender to me a divorce letter and he packed all his belonging from my house and left. i ran mad and i tried all i could to have him back but all did not work out. I was lonely for almost 4 year, So when i told the spell caster what happened he said he will help me and he asked for his full name and his picture. I gave him that. At first i was skeptical but i gave it a try cos i have tried so many spell casters and there is no solution, so when he finished with the readings, he got back to me that he’s with a woman and that woman is the reason why he left me, The spell caster said he will help me with a spell that will surely bring him back, but i never believe all this he told me i will see a positive result within 3 days. 3 days later, he called me himself and came to me apologizing and he told me he will come back to me. I can't believe this, it was like a dream cos i never believe this will work out after trying many spell casters and there is no solution. The spell caster is so powerful and after that he helped me with a pregnancy spell and i got pregnant a month later, we are now happy been together again and with lovely kid. This spell caster has really changed my life and i will forever thankful to him, he has helped many of my friends too with similar problem too and they are happy and thankful to him. This man is indeed the most powerful spell caster i have ever experienced in life.
