i have been so moody and emotional lately i think thanks to all the side effects i have sort of stepped into reality....before i started treatments when i talked to people it was more matter of fact and not referring to myself in the situation...but now its just become WAY to real for me

i think you have a lot more side effects than i do! are you moving? that helps a bunch, even if it's just easy walking... what were your workouts like pre-treatment? can you do those workouts at a lighter pace? i promise you - you will feel better. helps with mood, sleep, pain, and nausea... at least for me.
