Caregiver here! Husband is the dude with the new Foldax valve as of yesterday. He’s doing great, by the way. This subreddit really helped him through some pre-surgery anxiety, so thank you!

What advice can you give me as a caregiver once he returns home to recuperate? Please give me your tips/advice so I can give him the support and physical assistance he needs while he heals.

I took my first shot of Trulicity on Friday. So far I’ve had headaches, nausea, vomiting (two nights) and diarrhea (one night). For those of you on this medication, how long did these side effects last? I’m not ready to give up, but it’s been super rough on me so far after just one dose!

Currently driving back after a Thanksgiving trip. Didn’t count my pills correctly and we stayed an extra day so I missed two doses. I’ve been taking Lexapro for about 5 years.

My moods have been like a rollercoaster. If I control myself to not speak it’s fine. But when I talk it’s like I lash out at my husband for no reason. I’m extremely irritable and generally grumpy. Just want to get home, take my medicine and a nap, and hopefully wake up feeling like a new woman.

Just posting this as a reminder to not miss doses. It’s like I know in my head that I’m acting out or control but I can’t control it. It’s a terrible feeling... and also a scary reminder how dependent I am on this drug.
