LOL the best sex I ever had was when I was on tx , it seemed to be the only thing that helped my headaches and other aches and pains hehe

Re: Re: thinking of bailing

I know,, the uneasiness feelings, AND the sexual side effects, but remember, they are NOT forever,, you will probably only take them until after you finish your treatment... and besides,, now smile, would ya? Remember,, who wants sex while on treatment? I dunno about anyone else, but sex was the LAST thing on my mind when I could hardly get out of bed...

let us know what your doc says.. remind him tho that the interferon depletes the seretonin,, pretty soon you may start having serious insomnia too as the seretonin levels get lower and lower,,, m human <heethun666> wrote:

Not to bring the convo back around to sex, but all the over the counter stuff messes with my prostate something fierce. Even melatonin does a real number on it.

have you tried Benedryl? thats the active ingredient in Tylenol PM but you can buy just the diphenhydramine which is the benedryl... it makes you very sleepy and might help you get to sleep.. standard dose is 20-50 mg,, most are packaged in 25 mg tablets.. so taking two would be a normal dose..m human wrote: Not to bring the convo back around to sex, but all the over the counter stuff messes with my prostate something fierce.

I DO remember candy-stripers!! I took the very first nurse-aide training class offered in Missoula Montana in the 60's. The volunteers wore pink stripes, we wore blue ones in a pinafore type of uniform. I enjoyed the work, but was in bad emotional shape during those years and had 3 small sons at home., didn't last long, but I've continued to go back to people care and have now settled with the elderly. They are truly a vulnerable group and not near enough people care about them.

Good for you, standing up to a doc. THey're used to God-like handling and can get very insensitive.

RE: Re: thinking of bailing

Sharon, that's wonderful. I would love to work with seniors in some capacity. Unfortunately, that type of work is not traditionally well paid especially if you don't have a degree. But perhaps I could do something in a volunteer capacity at some point. I would love to work with Last Hope Animal Rescue (my "pet" charity), but I don't have the stomach for it as it would kill me to see mistreated and abandoned animals.

When my Dad was ill and spent time in a nursing facility for rehab before he died, I kept a close eye on his care and caused a scene one day in the ICU when I fired a doctor. The nurses congratulated me later since he was a real pr*ck. But I saw the elderly patients who had no one to look out for them and I would love to be able to be some sort of patient advocate. I guess my education and virtually no training would qualify me to be a candy-striper! (Remember that term? LOL)

If you can do something to help the elderly, that would be so great.

I left work early yesterday and laid out today. My job is just too physically demanding at times and I probably more hate doing it poorly than laying out. I get so depleted so early, it feels like I've done sixteen hours after only four. It's hard to accept, but I'm just not tougher than that. Oh well, I have to go through with this and I'll make the best by rewarding myself here and there. Maybe bar b q'd ribs, mac and cheese, collards and some 'nana pudding today!!

Mike, mac and cheese has been one of my

indulgences while on tx. It’s the kind of thing that I usually wouldn’t

eat since I’m always worried about gaining weight. But now, I’ll

eat that and anything else that I feel like!

Enjoy it!
