I primed my bosses for my treatment, explaining everything. I thought I'd be fine. Three days into it I went out on medical leave. I feel better in my 5th week, but my job requires 100% concentration, and there's just no way.
I'm very lucky that I get full salary for 10 weeks.

Hell, Shep, I've done that when I WASN'T on treatment. My dogs look at me like I've lost my mind all the time.

Here's a good brain fog tale--last night I am trying to go to sleep but someone's dog is outside barking like crazy. Very unusual for my neighborhood. It was keeping me awake and out of frustration I go to the backdoor to yell into the night and in comes my old dog. I didn't remember letting him out--he hates being outside at night usually he scratches at the door until I let him in. I am glad it was dark so no one could see how embarrassed I was.

Heya all, as most of you know I am not on treatment, but experience similar symptoms since I was 18.
Dragon is an excellent choice of creatures for this C bitch, I think it is the nature of the beast, and when you are in battle....Woah! watch out!

That sounds exactly like me before treatment. Talk to your nurse about the above - I was diagnosed with depression. They gave me cipralex which helped.

kiwi,
The jailor would appeal your case for you after a week or two. "Please release this prisoner on the grounds that half the prison population is cowering in their cells in complete terror. The quality of life here, such as it is, is suffering". Any court in the land, wigs or not, would set you free.

So with you all! Today a good example. 4 words I hate most to say is "it is not my fault" even if it isn't but today I found my self saying it and following with if it weren't for..... And the medical assistant screwed this up. (which was true -see still can't stop myself ). But hate the way I've become whiney. And certainly freak a bit with most unexpected problems. I have never felt the need to appologize so much in my life! I told a new girl to wait til August I will be normal again.

Oh wow! I am an emotional roller coaster and it is a really scary ride. I do the swing back & forth from I don't care, say mean things, argue with co-workers---and then I am so apologetic and tearful. I also have a few 10th graders living in fear of me--not my mission in life. Yea--the full moon--it does have an effect. I have worked in a high school too long to not notice the insanity that comes with the moon. Sounds crazy--I'll fight with you about it!! LOL
I am starting to find myself forgetting things--the paperwork I have done for years which I know takes me much longer to complete. They tell me to make corrections--I absolutely do not do it--don't care. Trying to maintain Shep

I have never been much on moderation. I run to extremes. I seem to be either very angry and blaming everybody for my problems, usually kicked off by the doctors office or insurance company lately. Or when things are going my way, I feel so grateful and overjoyed that I get choked up at the little things. When I got back from the doctor with that first undetect, I could hardly get it out to tell my wife. She thought I must have had some very bad news. I think part of this is called compassion. When I first joined this forum, it was all about me. What can you do to solve my problems and relieve my worries? Now, I actually care about your problems, too.
Kiwi - I added the full moon rising to my list. I'm sure I will be able to figure out a way to retaliate or plot revenge against it.

I got the "I don't care" also, but it was more like "Look, people. I am doing perhaps the most difficult and intense thing I have ever done, and you come in here with your drivel expecting me to care one iota about it? Well, go pound sand! I don't care". I have never been like that in my life. But I have never done anything nearly as intense as this, something that completely takes over your life for a while. Now that I'm down to just two drugs, the intensity has subsided, I feel better and I can deal with people's problems much more gracefully. But I've decided I still don't care.

Can relate 100% kiwi, for me the tx has not been so much as physical as it has been mental. I've always been high strung with a very low tolerance to B.S., but now i REALLY can't bite my tongue. And really don't care to either. My face speaks tons, guess thats why people walk into my office, see my face, and say i'll come back later....I hate being like this, and no matter how hard i try not to be that way, the "i don't care" always seems to win out. Especially when stress levels are high. I think everyone around me is ready for my tx to be over more than i am! lol................
