memories

[babs824]

does anyone remember a reeeely bad hangover? like when your head feels like it will explode, you cant stand bright lights or loud noises, your mouth feels like cotton candy, your energy got up and left, you are defensive and impatient and you hope you can just hide under the blankets indefinitely with no calls or visits? i just realized that treatment has an odd familiarity!!! is this some kind of strange payback?

Oh yes you've hit the nail on the head! I've been trying unsuccessfully to explain to folk the worst feeling.... the feeling of unrest, unease, nothing is right, and worse you have a "I don't want to head" whatever you do its not right even simple stuff like walking, standing sitting you stand you want to sit, you sit you want to move in fact the only thing I wanted to do during tx was to go to sleep and wake up when its all over. Yep hangover hill is a good comparrison but its the worst hangover I've ever had. I found alternative therapies helped a lot, I took sunflower for anxiety and did without citalopram for the first six months, flower remedies are great also diet and comfort foods. I used Reiki every day except injection day and found spiritual solace in meditation, the thing is its tough and you've got to get through it so you must put yourself first for the duration. I said at the beginning "if my curtains are closed I dont want to see anyone" this worked folk were understanding and it saved me from screaming at my near and dear ones to LEAVE ME ALONE. It got me through and now it has all been worth it and I haven't had the hangover feeling since I finished tx. mikesimon... good news bad news today... one friend completed tx and is all clear after 18 months :-) another lost his fight when he caught pneumonia while on interferon :-( I know how you feel mate.

I get that feeling when the phone rings after midnight or before 6 am, always bad news.

I feel that way at every funeral I attend.
