Shot 18 Friday night. I was super-emotional today. I get this strongest on the Saturday after the shot. I like to lie in bed and watch an action movie Saturday afternoons. They're mostly Grade-B movies with little characterization and heros who don't show much emotion - you know, a lot of car chases, jumping off exploding things, etc. But I find myself getting very sad from bogus "sad scenes", like when someone from the protagonist's backup team gets killed. These scenes are usually about a minute long, have no set-up for why the two guys are so close (usually they were together in either prison, special forces, or in stickball games on the streets when they were kids, etc. It's totally sappy and I always used to just take this in stride as typical cornball fake emotion of a low-budget film. ??? 18/48 Group: alt.support.hepatitis-c Date: Sun, Feb 18, 2007, 7:12am (CST+6) From: nobody@nowhere.com (Russian) Shot 18 Friday night.

I remember after the shot feeling like I was on an emotional rollercoaster. But since I knew it was the drug causing it I'd just ride it out. Eventually the slightest thing would make me cry, and that's when I started on an anti-depressant. > Shot 18 Friday night. > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > ??? I just slept all weekend for months during that phase of tx. It was my safest bet ! ;) Couldn't even follow a movie for that long and certainly lost the ability to read. I love reading always have and worked on the same lowly Mary Higgins Clark mystery for months - (Whatever happened to Tom Clancy etc??) - still haven't finished it and am three months post tx, haha! > When I was on tx I found myself often crying very easily, or being made > sad by these kinds of things.

That's exactly it. It's better knowing that it's not just me. > > When I was on tx I found myself often crying very easily, or being made > > sad by these kinds of things.

I can remember sitting at the kitchen table by myself and starting to sob and not having any idea of why. I didn't feel sad or in pain (I felt like crap, but that was different) so I just sort of watched myself until it passed. The a Dr's appt and he asked me how I was and I said "OK" and immediately broke into tears. Good luck with it. I tried to not let it bother me and made sure people around me knew it was just weirdness, not actual pain. G Eat Coco Puffs and watch cartoons. If you cry during the cartoons, apply rationale.

When I was feeling really bad Sunday night, I remembered the often-mentioned tip from here about ice-cream getting a lot of people through treatment. I swear it helped me get to sleep.

No bowl necessary. ///////// Yeah, but if you eat ice cream sandwiches, you're stuck with either vanilla, strawberry or chocolate. I like all the crunchy stuff and all. Starbucks or B&J's is heaven. Besides, if you use a bowl, it'll give the dog something to lick when you're done. :-) elmo http://community.webtv.net/elmoemerson/DocElmosHepFile http://community.webtv.net/elmoemerson/TheFamilyAlbum |
