eight weeks on the new dose

I want to put this somewhere concrete because I spent a long time reading other people's accounts before I made any changes, and the specific ones helped more than the general ones. Eight weeks ago my doctor adjusted my oestrogen. The first two weeks I felt off in a way that was hard to describe, not worse exactly, just unsettled. I was waking earlier than usual and my appetite was strange. By week four the anxiety had dropped. Not gone, but the volume came down. I have had anxiety for years so I was not expecting that to be the thing that shifted first. The weight has not changed. My sleep is better in the sense that I stay asleep longer, though I still have nights that don't work. The clearest change is that I can read again. I don't mean I had stopped, but for about eighteen months I'd get to the end of a page and realize I hadn't taken any of it in. That has improved. I have a review next month. I'm keeping a note of the dull details now so I don't lose them.
