hatgal your appt tomorrow

It has been awhile since we have touched base..I can't beleive what is going on....first off you are not alone...you have an inner strength that will guide you tomorrow. You know that I know about Anxiety and depression as I too am a sufferer of both. Listen to me..tomorrow when you see the Doctor and discuss your medical issues you tell him/her what is going on he will give you something to keep you calm, when I went to the gyn/onc he gave  me something to keep me from being so anxious. be assertive, write down everything you need to ask the Dr. Also if you are not comfortable with the Dr then find one that will make you feel comfortable. I have been there with the feelings of lonliness. You need to sit down and talk to your husband and he has to be your support system right now and you have to make him understand it. Men never understand..but when it comes to them they don't handle illness very well. I know haw hard this is for you...i am stll dealing with my surgery, fears and anxiety..I have been trying to think positive which everyone says is the key to good health. I am thinking about you and let me know how you make out tomorrow...I know you have been in a rough spot but things are going to get better..Good Luck.

Thank you so much.  I am overwhelmed with everyone's responses to me today.  This is truely a forum of support!!

What did the doc give you to calm you?  I am the one that suggested the Klonopin to you.  I hope that you are getting through your fears and scheduling that surgery.  

I need to start practiciing what I preached to you in regard to the moods, but I really think it's out of my hands until I get to the root of my gyno issues that are playing games with my hormones.

I think I'm "deadlocked" right now with my anxiety, etc. b/c of whatever is going on hormonally with me.  This is something I am going to press the issue very much on tomorrow with the doc. Something has to come out, be treated or whatever because I am losing my marlbes, literally!

I do have the klonopin, but can't really mix it with the pain meds I'm taking - it would be kinda like an Anna Nicole Smith cocktail and I am not going there!  Although she probably took more than prescribed, it still makes me nervous to be mixing these very strong pain meds with the klonopin.

Thank you again for posting to me and you are very much in my thoughts and prayers every day for speedy mental and physical health recovery.

Best to you..........
