Re: Re: - Effexor- Pyretta!!!!!!

OMG Pyretta,

This sucks significantly for you. Forget me- what you've been through is

far worse- so many lead up dramas- THE WAITING- My God, the waiting- you

have the patience I wish I could have a fraction of, the thrill of it

all, then the black dog, now this. No wonder you're emotionally eating.

It's so true again. We need head bands!!! Are you seeing someone about

the head issues? I feel like I should, but when it gets time to make an

appointment, I always back out, because I've not found any counsellor

yet who I actually can connect with and take on board what they have to

say without any cynicism from my part. You guys and my one or two close

non-banded friends are better than any shrink!

On the up-side, the port should be maybe a day stay, and you shouldn't

feel much pain around the band/stomach, so maybe they'd put some more in

the tank whilst you're in. But then how long will this be on the public

lists? Arrgghh. I really feel for you.

Things for me weight-wise hare pretty much where they always have been,

no more, no less. I remember last time when I was in , I said that the

next time would be the last, and I'd have the band out, but if it is a

slip, at least I'm stabilised and not putting on any more. I'm just

waiting for the loss to come, but it doesn't , even after a week of

minimal intake because it's been so hot (not even eating ice-cream, just

lots of water, crackers, cold meat and salad) I've not lost a

skerrick.At least one of the side effects of the Efexor is supposed to

be anorexia- bring it on (geez, right now, I'm starting to think a

tapeworm might be good)!!

Hang in there.
