5 days off tx

Feb 17, 2008 07:57PM - 0 comments

wow my mind definitely feels very different.  I feel like each day another layer of my brain fog veil is lifted.  I did stop taking my prozac about 3 months ago which may have been a big mistake.  I was feeling extremely depressed and like a total bum loser and to some extent I still am.  But on an overall level I just feel a lot more mental clarity and I think that extends to my comprehension of pain too.  Ever since treatment ended I haven't had an increase in appetite which I find pretty strange.  Can't wait to fit into my clothes again and not have to constantly pull up my jeans.  I have enough energy to clean again and even though my shoulders are killing me I can lift things again! One new pain I have is my right ribs sort of below my armpit.  I do have 5 small lumps on my body and worry about lymphoma sometimes.  But my lymphnode on my neck has been enlarged since I had mononucleosis 5 years ago.  I have another two in my face that are smaller than a pea and one on my left arm.  The one that appeared during treatment was right in front of my left ear and it does seems to be smaller.  So I'm not ready to run a marathon yet but its time to start stepping back out into the social world and become a real person again.
