I know I've been off the site for a while and I see a lot of new names. I have had a of challenges in my life, House fires, wildland fires, swift water rescues. But doing 48 weeks of TX was the toughest of them all. I was lucky with most of the sides I had the headaches, insomna. mood swings, dry mouth, the metal taste and I know the feeling of wanting to sit in a dark room and cry. But that is your right , Because no one can say they know what you are felling unless they have been thru TX, You can never give up and let the Dragon take charge and control your life. It has been alitte over 6 months since i've been done with TX I'm still a undie and come Oct. I will add Dragon Slayer to my Resume.

I'm with you on that, DT. BTW, we moved out to the country during tx and my husband joined the volunteer Fire Dept. He loves it.

I'm with both of you. Keep swinging and never give up! Congrats on the undie status and I'm sure svr is in your future.

I'm pretty new at treatment. Just did shot 10 of 48 and doing pretty good. I'm not about to give up slaying this dragon. Sounds like you are doing great!

I thought you were gone-gone.
Great news, thank you for sharing.
You're right. Even if you cannot kill the dragon, you don't have to let it control your life.
