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

over 10 years agoi 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.
