One week on the tablets

Well I am now into my routine of 4 tablets in the morning at 10am, two hours after breakfast and then 4 at 10pm at night with no food after 8pm. It is all going really well and by Monday night we could visibly see a reduction in several of the lumps - yes in less than a week!!! Feeling extremely good and the only apparent side effect I seem to be having is some insomnia. I seem to be getting 2 or 3 solid hours of sleep and then feel wide awake. I am however staying in bed and I must be drifting in and out but it does seem a long night and I am then getting up just after 6am. Other than that I have a little pain in my left hand between the wrist and fingers and it was slighltly swollen. However it is minimal pain and nothing I can't cope with. Everyone thinks I am looking good and I am holding down my full time job with no problems although I have reduced my hours slightly as I am getting tired. The other good news is that after 13 years together Brian and I are getting married on 21st January 2012. He proposed to me on my 39 birthday and I will be walking down the aisle on my Dad's arm on my 47th birthday - how wonderfull is that!

Really looking forward to a family Xmas and all the preparations are well under way for my dream wedding.
