Tracy, nonwonder you are felling the way you feel. Younhave been tbrough Hell and back with Chemo, surgery, this expansion torture and while on hormone meds... I mean hormones alone are anough to drive you nuts and affect you emotions. Not to mention going through the actual physical pain.
I am just glad you have decent pain killers now. And you are right - take it slowly on anti-depressants... If you need them fair enough but if you manage to adjust to the hormone meds YAY... Hot flushes are the pits... Is there a way you can maybe change the time of day you take them... I know some women changing the schedule found a bit of relief with the hot flushes...
And just wondering how your vitamin D was ? I know Vitamin D when low causes depression and a friend of mine who went through surgery treatment and started hormones last winter hit massive depression herself post starting Tamoxifen. She then started taking vitamin D supplement soon after and it really turned it arround for her. We have been protecting ourselves from the sun during Chemo so would not be surprising if D was low. Please have tour GP check it out as they can give you a once off injection that gives you an immediate boost and lasts 6 months.
All the best. ??????????????
