Hi!
I think you are just a day behind me and I am wondering how you feel?  I am on day 8...we may be on the same day.  PAWS is murdering my short term memory.  Anyway, I agree.  Getting past day 4, you can function fairly well physically but mentally?!? Not a chance.  At least not for me!  Also still have diarrhea and hot flashes and night sweats where I am soaked and have to change clothes.  Mentally, I feel...well, sick.  I don't see any light at the end of the tunnel, mainly b/c my life is such a mess and I am dealing with all these old feelings that the pills totally supressed.
Anyway, just wondering about you...

I am on day 6 and yukkkkkkkkk. It is really hard and I have the same symptoms as you do. I am trying to keep busy, but the w/d's make me real lazy. It seems like everthing is this big huge chore. I hate the sweats and chills. The only thing I like to eat is sweets....real food has no taste at all. I don't have to worry about not eating meat this Good Friday :0).

You are doing really great!!! I thought a few times there you were not going to make it. You pulled through and that helped me to stay on track. We will feel better soon.....I have to think positive. I check the board a few times a day and some of the posts really help me. Keep on smiling.....you know the weekend is going to be the hardest. I kind of dread this weekend. It is a good thing I am an avid reader...that really saves me.

Is little Jackson aware of the Easter Bunny? I don't know if you celebrate or not. If so, Happy Easter!

Sending kind thoughts your way!

Happy Easter to you too!  Yes, everything does feel like one big chore and I am extra lazy!  Jackson doesn't really get the easter bunny concept yet :)
Ugh, and this weekend will be hard.  There just isn't enough structure during the weekend which is a blessing and a curse.
