Was your tx successful?
My appetite picked up immediately after tx (non responder). Its fun to eat after having poor appetite for so long!

OK, from your journal it sounds like an extended tx with good results, lucky you!
You know what that means...you have to do the undie dance naked under the next full moon, and post pics for your DS friends :D

id just advise you to stay on the ad's for a long time if you are taking them now. i figgered id wean off after a couple of years and man i crashed bad. actually the only serious depression ive ever experienced. i think the meds made me slightly bipolar.
congrats on what must have been a long rough tx..if i were you i would now eat an entire cow..

just eat it

Well done - Serene. What long haul that must have been! I'm 15 months post and have wacked on the weight again. As Ptriss said, my appretite returned quickly - well in a few weeks. I could actually taste food again.

Like Cap'n, I'm an advocate of staying on Ad's if you are on them for quite sometime post Tx.. at least 9 monhs was recoomended to me by the psychiatrist

Congratulations, Dragonslayer!!! Hurrah!!!!!!!

Well serene, first of all congrats on sticking it out & being such a trooper! As for your your post tx issues... I have come to realize that alot of people tend to have anxiety problems & eating problems afterwards along with many other issues. I really beleive that all of this is something the doctors should be aware of & address but seem to fail to do so. It's kind of like post tx some people seem to suffer from PTSD. I agree with the others, try to get anxiety meds, but also maybe counseling, sometimes it helps to talk about what you've been through.
@ Capn; really, where do you come up with this stuff?! Now I can't eat my vegetables.

A very good friend of mine from this site was able to get her doctor and insurance company to agree to allow her to get physical rehab after her treatment. It did her a world of good in getting her going again and I think all of us should be allowed this same therapy after treatment. Look into it!!

Try to get some exercise. It will give you more energy. It's really hard to get your stamina back.

KM, that is an excellent idea! I will ask my doc about it.

I will begin Physical Therapy 2days a week, if I can stay away from the food. I am blessed to eat again. I love hearing the replys you are all my friends that completely understand. Ptriss you remind me of that moon O.K.!!
Each day is one step toward recovery.......
I love you all.

Go slow but steady with the exersise. I'm 2 months post TX now and can still feel the lack of energy and stamina, but I do feel them comming back slowly. It will happen

I stopped my tx before it took me out of the game....Kinda lost now but at least I did get in 37.5 weeks.....So what will our new normal be???Best of luck to you!!!!!!

Well I'm a couple months post tx..still unde...and man have I got an eating problem. I cant stop! ! !
Seriously though, I have recovered well and fast. I only had to do 24 weeks. Just one of the lucky ones I guess. Milk Thistle, vitamins, and exercise are all important. My exercise consists mainly of walking after work and using the stairs while at work. (no choice there lol). I have Xanax on hand but haven't had to use them lately. Pretty much all the sides were gone within the sixth week. Now it's back to living and playing. I don't care about getting back to where I WAS because the NEW is more fun and I can adjust.
I think it's called "expanding your horizons" (as well as my waist lol)
