My gp has recently prescribed lenzetto - it's a spray you use daily. Reason being we still have shortages with patches around here, and she claims nobody has had any issues with the spray. It also dries a lot quicker than the gel. Seemed like a no brainer.
Anyway, I'm only a few days in and feeling like death. I'm exhausted. Like extremely exhausted. Having hot flushes, which I never had before. Sleeping a lot but it's very disrupted. I wake up several times during the night and am catching up during the day. I have terrible dreams.
Then I also feel nauseous, feel like I'm verging on getting sick most of the time I'm awake. My head is killing me, and my muscles ache.
I could get over all those things except the exhaustion. It's like nothing I've ever experienced. Closest I've come is when I was sick with flu or covid. Just really fatigued and weak.
So I guess my question is, should I stick with it? Has anyone experienced this type of exhaustion and recovered reasonably quickly. I have a job and family. I can't just ignore my responsibilities for long. Currently treating it like I would when I'm sick - I'll rest up now and be back to normal in a week. But then I read about side effects taking 3, 4 and even 6 months to clear up. Why would you live like this for that long? Is it really worth it?
