Same with me;  I can go out the morning after my shot and do shopping etc.  I have shots Wednesday nights; Thursday okay,  Friday I'm pretty heavy, Saturday spacey and Sunday starting to normalise.  

My nurse suggested I worked 3 days a week at least;  I'm glad I didn't, I wouldn't have got the days right :-).   I read somewhere that Peg peaks over a 3-4 day period (don't quote me, but it makes sense).  

Sandbash - headaches?  Are you drinking enough water? Are you getting anemic?  Take care - I hope this week's better for you.

About the same for me....but last week headaches lasted all week.  It seems to be a lot better if I stay busy (even if its just watching tv or reading) rather than try to sleep it off.
