RE: Anyone not anti-depressants during treatment?

[Guest guest]

Oh! I forgot about menopause!!

Add that to the list!! And I just put $42 worth of gas in my car……now,

that makes me depressed!!

Yes, I live alone and it was a bitch

sometimes. It was difficult when the RA flared up – that was the

hardest part. But all of my problems existed before my tx, not because of

it. I don’t think I gave too much thought to my tx except when my

hemoglobin dropped and I had to go on Procrit. For me, it was something I

had to do with the hope that my neurological problems might improve. Unfortunately,

they did not, but I still have hope.

And if I don’t win my social

security disability claim….then I may hang myself. Well, maybe not –

I don’t have the guts.

You are an exception Dorothy. Most

humans could not endure the kind

of emotional upheaval that you had going on when you went on TX. I

know I struggle with a fraction of what you went through. That's why

I say you are my inspiration If you can go through all this and

come out the other end saying " it was not so bad " well jumpin jiminy

cricket I sure as heck can deal with it!! Plus if I remember

correctly you lived alone? That was dangerous and I am so glad it

worked out for you.

Heck just dealing with the emotional BS from menopause is bad enough.

I did not take anti-depressants before or during treatment.

You can¢t assume that everyone will need them.

Good luck Friday!!

Quick question. Is their anyone here on treatment that is NOT onanti-depressants? I ask because I am starting treatment and my drsaid that I did not need to be on them because I have had no historyof depression. I guess I am going to see how I feel while on peg/rib and if I feelsad, etc then I will get a script for them.

I did what I had to do for my family, and taking treatment was one of the things I had to do for them. Left to my own devices, I probably would have learn to live with the disease and just handle it. But I have a young daughter who is just now 13, she was 7 yrs when I went through treatment the first time. She need her momma.

So I did it for her, and my husband. Second time was for myself. Cause I knew I could do it. Having been there and done that. I will do it again when the opportunity arrives again. Because of my family, they need me.

But I don't say that it was courage that made me take the treatment twice it was stubborn old Janet that made it through both times.

And it is stubborn old Janet that will make it through again.

I am just made that way.

Love

Janet
