Guest guest Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 Jerri, I went thru the strung out emotions and so did my husband when he was on tx. Please call of go see your dr tell them about this. You need to get on some anti depressants fast. The longer you wait the worse it gets. Or at least it did for me. It is both a side effect but also true depression, brought on yes by tx. But it is still real. love and hugs d aka dannegrlJerri Neely <all4jerri@...> wrote: Hi everyone. Happy Holidays. I was wondering if anyone going through the interferon treatment has had issues with emotions. Yesterday I got some news that although wasn't the greatest, I totally overreacted. I sobbed uncontrollably for quite some time. I was still an emotional wreck most of today with crying jags thrown in for good measure.I'm unsure if this is a side effect that I can get meds for or is this really depression. Other than the over reacting and crying I don't feel depressed (or do I).Very confused. Thanks for any advise,Jerri .

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Thanks. That will be my first call on Monday. Still having a lot of issues with my insurance which isn't helping. My medical group is dropping my insurance company. I sent in the forms for a transition of care so that I can stay with my Liver specialist but because I don't have prior approval for a specific number of visits they are trying not to approve it. I has to be figured out by Jan 1 or I am really screwed. I will have enough meds for a couple of weeks but will be without a doctor. That's pretty scary.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Hi Jerri, I think we all had some emotional issues on tx, I know I did - the second time when I was on ribivirin not the first when it was just interferon alone. Riba rage is famous & I'm good at rage. It never ceases to amaze me the hoops you Yanks jump through for medical care & drug insurance. I'm so glad to be Canadian. It was a fight to get on Disability but now everything is covered - glasses, teeth - all of it. My meds were already covered by a gov't drug plan for low income people. They paid for my flight to & from London (Ontario) over 1,000 miles away for the t p assessment, they paid for the hotel & food, transportation while there etc, didn't cost me a cent. It's really good to know it's there for me when I need it. Good Luck girl, Hugs & sloppy kitty kisses from the Boss, SuZie & Sir SpYke the Fluffy Next time I'm coming back as a cat Thanks.That will be my first call on Monday. Still having alot of issues with my insurance which isn't helping.My medical group is dropping my insurance company. Isent in the forms for a transition of care so that Ican stay with my Liver specialist but because Idon't have prior approval for a specific number ofvisits they are trying not to approve it. I has to befigured out by Jan 1 or I am really screwed. I willhave enough meds for a couple of weeks but will bewithout a doctor. That's pretty scary.Thanks again,Jerri--- dannegrl <dannegrl2003> wrote:> Jerri,> I went thru the strung out emotions and so did my> husband when he was on tx.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Hi Suzie, Thanks for the email. The US has a alot of great things but I am finding the insurance game isn't one of them. I too think it is the ribivirin and not the interferon. I haven't had the rage yet but the emotions are overwelming. I will be calling my dr. in the am.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Jerry it is the riboveron and the longer you are on it the worse it effects your mind and emotions.Anti depresents are the only thing that help and no you are not going crazy.I thought I lost my mind while on the same treatment as you.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Hi Gail, I spoke with the nurse this morning and I believe that the doctor is going to call in a script for me for my depression. She also said that her and my doctor are fighting to keep me on a continuation of care (my medical group is dropping my health insurance). So hopefully things will turn around. I am putting one foot in front of the other and on my way to work. I can't remember, did you say that the treatment worked for you? Hope all is well in your world.
