Guest guest Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Yea, I'm pretty cranky too, but sometimes, as much as I can brag about his good points, my husband can say the stupidest, most insensitive things and not stop to think that maybe chemo is having an effect on me in ways I can't control. Like my memory. He sent me an email for a hair appointment for our son. I made a note of the date in my head. Last night I asked him if he remembered what time the appointment was scheduled. He said 10 am. I half jokingly said, "I could whap you upside the head, why didn't you make it for the afternoon." Then he made a big issue of how he sent me an email I could have changed the time, blah, blah, blah. And he's right, but the thing is, I don't always think straight and I might have if I maybe wasn't in a hurry that day paying bills, getting us ready to get out the door to go to one of my own appointments and forgot all about the stupid email at the end of the day in the aftermath of everything else I have to try to remember and deal with the chemo side of my forgetfulness. It's amazing that I even remembered he had the appointment this week. But he's great in many other ways so I'll forgive him, even though he royally pissed me off. I'm having mouth sores. He called the doc and had them put in a script for mouth sores. I asked him to ask the pharmacist what would work well over the counter so he went to the pharmacist at the hospital he works at. She told him it's best to get the prescription med for this because if the over the counter stuff doesn't work and it gets really bad it could postpone my next treatment. So, see, he can be a really nice guy because he went out of his way to do all of this for me. ;-) But he still does idiotic things sometimes. And my being grumpy doesn't help much. ;-) LICS June "The best protection any woman can have...is courage."

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Hi, Am not telling anyone what to do, or even recommending what to do, just telling you what helped me. My onc recommended anti-depressants right before starting chemo as he said it would really help with the edginess, the emotional roller coaster, etc. I decided to give Prozac a try, and it was an immense help to me. I know some people are very anti any kind of mood altering drugs - so my apologies if I offended anyone. Ann Chemo Hats: www.cjhats.com Yahoo! Shopping Find Great Deals on Holiday Gifts at Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 I don't think saying what you did should offend anyone. I can't take prozac, it makes me worse, go figure. I tried it for PMS several years ago and boy, you could have added a whole new meaning to the word bitch. I do take anti anxiety meds, they help me sleep at night without the after effects of a sleeping pill. Sleeping meds make me feel groggy all day. But the anxiety meds take the edge off for the most part and I can do the .25 during the day if I'm feeling edgy but I need the .5 at night to relax enough to sleep. I don't particularly like mood altering drugs but I'm not totally against them either. I think there are times when they can be necessary and are necessary for some people. I think your post is helpful for those who might not have thought of using meds to help them through. LICS June "The best protection any woman can have...is courage."
