Today, we headed to clinic and on arrival, the doctor said we’d be moving onto actual peanut pieces instead of the solution!! Ummm….WHAT!!!!! I was really scared to give this a go but he didn’t give me much time to worry and before I knew it…I’d eaten 125mg of actual peanut pieces! The nurse advisedContinue reading “Day 15”

The bed in this apartment is so cosy that it makes getting up early a challenge! We were quite tired from our late night at the aquarium so woke a little later. I then ate my porridge and dosed the 70mg – I managed to take it as a full dose today instead of splittingContinue reading “Day 14”

We had a quiet morning and then I took my 70mg dose. Symptoms were as normal (tingling, itchy mouth). Heartburn wasn’t as bad as last night but have been feeling a bit of acid reflux today so decided to just do the one dose as didn’t want to push my body too much. I’ve connectedContinue reading “Day 13”

This morning, I dosed 70mg split into two 35mg doses 10 minutes apart. This is because we only have the small syringe (I forgot to get a bigger one from the clinic!). Minor tingling and itchy throat which felt fine. I was nervous today as I had to do two of the 70mg doses whichContinue reading “Day 12”

Today, was another updose day at the clinic! They administered the 35mg dose and then waited 15 minutes and administer the next 35mg. Again, usual symptoms – tingling, itchy mouth and a small hive on my lip. I was then sent for more labs. This is to check how my body is responding to theContinue reading “Day 11”

Slept sooo much better last night which was well-needed. Had a big breakfast to line my stomach then dosed the 25mg – it’s so yellow and you can actually see the peanut flour really visibly now! Again, same symptoms of tongue tingling and itchy throat. We then headed for a short walk in between dosingContinue reading “Day 10”

I woke up feeling a little sick this morning. The heating had been on in the night which made me feel really stuffy and I hadn’t slept well! Anyway, I had breakfast and dosed 18mg. We then had some quiet time post dose before heading to the clinic. Same symptoms as usual – tingling, itchyContinue reading “Day 9”

Monday morning quickly came around so back to clinic we go. No dosing this morning as they said they’d dose me in clinic! When we arrived, the medical assistant went over my vitals and checked my weight again. She also discussed my symptoms over the weekend and make sure everything was recorded. Amanda then cameContinue reading “Day 8”

I messaged the nurse this morning to tell her about the corner of my eye swelling last night. I felt bad messaging her during her time off on a weekend but she was so responsive and kind! Amanda was pleased that it had mostly gone down and thinks that I may have rubbed my eyeContinue reading “Day 7”

Today we had a pretty chilled day! We ate breakfast, I dosed and then we watched Wales get beat by Ireland! Dosing was nerve-wracking this morning as we had to ‘updose’ at home from 9.6mg to 12mg – itchy mouth and throat but lots of water consumed as usual! I also had a slight swellingContinue reading “Day 6”
