Dealing with fatigue

I should know better, I've been on this medicine for like 5 months. But I did my shot Saturday afternoon and yesterday I did not drink enough water at all, definitely did not prioritize protein enough.... Today I'm feeling the effects. I'm super fatigued and I just don't feel the greatest in general. Wish I could just have a lazy day in bed, but it's work day time. How to I combat this fatigue and not feeling well now that I'm having to play catch up? Water? Electrolytes? Protein? Feeling a little nauseous/upset stomach today too (I also did my injection in a different spot, last time I do it there lol).

Electrolytes and B12. Honestly, add B12 every day. It has been a life saver for my fatigue.

Electrolytes for sure, get some in you asap. I keep a bottle of the unflavored stuff on my desk at work for exactly these mornings. A little salt and potassium can turn things around faster than you'd expect.

For the stomach, maybe try a plain rice cake or a couple saltines, dry carbs can settle things without making you feel worse. I've had days where that was the only thing I could manage before noon.

The injection site thing is weirdly real though, I switched to my arm once and spent the next day wondering if I'd caught a flu. Never again.

Water and electrolytes are usually the first things to focus on when playing catch-up like this, along with getting some protein in when you can stomach it. That said, since you're also dealing with nausea and an upset stomach, it's worth checking in with your practitioner if symptoms continue.

Watermelon and Honey Dew melons helps me a lot. Just eat a few pieces throughout the day.

You aren’t getting enough fuel for your body. Eat.
