Had my injection, on the left hand side which was the one that gave me the massive lump yesterday. My CPN said that if I turned out I was bad on that side that it was possible to have it on my right hand side only. She had a patient who could only have it on the right hand side. If I was having it once a week then it would not be possible, but been as I am only having it once a fortnight then it may be ok.
Well funnily enough, I havent had a massive lump at all on the left hand side. In fact I have had no side effects - no muscle stiffness, no constant yawning (which happens usually the day of the injection), no feeling sore on my bottom (which again happens on the day of the injection), nothing. Only a red mark where the needle went in. No stinging which usually happens within 5 mins of the injection.
The only thing that did happen is that the injection was more painful than normal when my CPN was doing it. So hopefully that big lump was an one off (as it happened the first time I had it on the left hand side).
I think it is actually doing something. Although I have the second voice, it is quieter and less aggressive than normal. I feel less implusive, less aggressive and calmer. The (second) voice is less of a nuisance than it has been of late. This morning it has been very quiet compared to yesterday. I dont know if it is the Clopixol, or a coincidence.
I have a psych appointment on Thursday, which I am not looking forward too and tbh I dont feel like going to, but if I do go to it, I shall mention it to him.
