2 mths post tx

[iwillbeatthis]

I'm 2 months post tx, dealt with a little post tx depression, getting through that, out of the blue this week, my fingers are going numb at night when I sleep, I wake up with the numb tingly fingers and have to move them around to get them back, and then they go back to sleep later. Also still have the itchy, crawly skin.
Is this normal?
Thanks,
Bree

I am almost 2 yo post and have to be very honest with you that depression or mood disorder can be very common.  I still experience varying ups and downs and have trouble interacting with people even in school.  What we have experienced, there is no way to tell someone how you felt, so there is no way they'll understand.  I am still learning to accept this fact.  You just have to stay strong and pull through the cloud after treatment.  It is sorta like a withdrawal symptom, after treatment I thought to myself "now what?" and it took some time to get myself back to my life goals.  Try to maintain a normal and routine life.  And get checkups and blood tests often to make sure you catch anything early on.

glad the depression common post tx is lifting. i also think neuropathy is a common sx. i had it for quite a while after ca tx,since ending hcv tx i now have a mild twitch of lower extremities when relaxing. i believe both are neurological remnants of our tx but i am not of course a medical professional. i would not panic but keep an eye on it. as recall your doc is not so savy so i dont know if he would know but might consult a neurologist if things get worse or dont improve in a few weeks. best to u, babs
