6th Injection

People have said that around the sixth week is when it usually start to kick in. Yup, things are certainly starting to happen.
I've been trying to deny it, of course. Convincing myself that it's all in my head. That works, to a certain degree. But if I'm completely honest, I'll admit that I've been feeling a bit "under the weather". That's the best way to describe it. It's not something I can put my finger on. I've just been feeling kind of sad, low, lethargic...
The other day I got the results of my latest blood test. I have low readings of my platelet count and white cell count. Also low are my Neutrophils and Lymphocytes. Now, I really don't know what all that means exactly. I know that your white blood cells help fight off infection, so if they're low I'd better be really careful not to catch any infections. And I imagine that having low counts of that kind of stuff will probably be making me feel not-so-hot.
So, really, what's happened this week is that I've received medical proof that there's a reason why I should not be feeling good, and it's given me permission to admit that, in reality, I'm not feeling good!
Sometimes I wish my emotional brain would stop getting in the way of logical brain!!
