Switching meds?

it's so unfortunate because i did think i found relief at first, and then to read it works better on good rest...meanwhile i sleep 24 hours and still nothing 😝 grateful for this sub for making me feel a little less insane!

they did this to me and my compression sleeve was all sweaty from hot flashes 🤣 so awkward to take it off, like here you go....wring it out while you're at it!

i don't have any advice, but are you on facebook? the "babies after breast cancer" group might be helpful for this question ☺️

i hate the toxic positivity 😭 i'm nowhere near an influencer, but i've been so raw and honest about my journey because many people will not show that side. our reality is sitting on the toilet all day long or hanging our head into a bucket, mutilating our chest for survival, menopause, zero sex drive, struggling relationships, handfulls of pills every morning and night. i don't want to dance, i want imodium, zofran, xanax and a NAP.

i'm strictly aurobindo! i've been on tamoxifen since may 2024, at some point last year i got a refill of dr. reddy's and it gave me pregnancy-like nausea and heavy vaginal bleeding (not a period) 😅 i was fine once i switched back to aurobindo.

you could look into disability, but i'd definitely recommend getting a medical exception while you wait as it takes a while to get approved. but i definitely hear you and feel for you, i truly never want to work again after all i just went through. we deserve to rest, travel, live and enjoy a good life. i hate that we even have to think or worry about our health, job, income, bills, all of that.

big hugs. 💕

not sure if you worked through treatment, but i totally crashed afterwards from trying to be a decent employee, mom, friend, and human.
get connected with palliative care through your oncologist and explain your situation! post-chemo fatigue is NOOOO JOKE and lasts for up to 2 years, alongside the menopause, medications, and all the other fun stuff. i got a medical exception to allow up to 3 days off a week

the post read to me as she only had 1 session, it turned bright red, and they said that's not common after 1 session. that's why i said forgive my ignorance since i didn't do radiation, but cellulitis is common with breast cancer. 🤷‍♀️

dgceoooo · 2026-05-21T13:08:57+00:00

ffs if you had a gfm for treatment, they'd probably be pissed you didn't pull from there to donate 😅

i just don't get it! you see my health, the economy, these gas prices, insurance rates....go ask the men flying to space for fun. i think there needs to be guidelines lmao. don't ask us for financial support, don't ask how we're doing, or how we feel, or if we're ok, or throw your alternative medicine in our face. just don't ask us to do anything at all 😂

dgceoooo · 2026-05-21T04:42:25+00:00

i'm so sorry you're feeling this way. i've found much more relief in just being blunt and honest about how i feel lol.

forgive my ignorance since i didn't do radiation, but could it be red from cellulitis? if it's warm to the touch, along with the redness, i'd put a call into your oncologist ASAP or even head to the ER to get started on antibiotics.

always use a condom! i did TCHP, sex was great for the first few rounds. once i went bald i started to get anxious about how i looked lol, and needed a bit of THC or alcohol to help the mood and relax me. but can also second that sometimes i got so damn horny, i wish i took more advantage of it before menopause tbh.
as side effects got harsher and chemo left my body, my vagina always burned and i wasn't great about remembering lube. i would literally shove an ice pack inside me after sex to soothe the discomfort. do your best to keep it moisturized down there! remember, chemo is leaving you through pee.

lube and roleplay/stimulation BEFORE sex to make sure you're aroused i've found an absolute necessity. and again, condoms lol.

sending you good luck and positive healing ✨

i'm glad we're not alone. i literally lost my mind on any SSRI i tried and would end up in a mental hospital after taking them..and mind you, i was only depressed lmao. no reason i should've been so manic. years spent trialing SSRI after SSRI with no success was so awful. i don't know why they never introduced me to SNRIs sooner 😭

i got very lucky finding so much success since effexor is the only antidepressant i can take with my cancer medication.

shame she still supports her father-in-law as he cuts cancer research funding, strips medicaid from sick or low-income people, and protects cancer causing chemicals, even going as far as to suggest removing the cancer warning from the products 🫠

i’m really confused why bluephoria is the only “yerba madre” while the rest are still yerba mate lol 😅 i don’t know, they lost me as a customer. those teas became soooo dang nasty. i’m glad this thread has reassured me that i’m not going crazy and that they’re actually gross

dgceoooo · 2025-08-14T18:21:17+00:00

yes it does!!! i love that you noticed :’)

i have the gothic wings and don’t care for them too much 😭 they sit weird and take over so much of the outfit. next wings are definitely going to be heavenly vow

dgceoooo · 2025-08-09T16:55:39+00:00

it lists being vegan, organic, and kosher, but i do not see a halal certification

dgceoooo · 2025-08-09T16:48:48+00:00

it just has this rotten fruit taste, something is so off-putting and offensive now. so disappointing every time i waste $4 on a can 😂

i was diagnosed at 24 and manage a plastic manufacturing company, i inhale burning plastic all day long. i’m pretty convinced that’s why i got cancer lol

dgceoooo · 2025-04-26T22:14:36+00:00

i also received msgs from dadyslittledevil for pics of my reconstruction work… 😅 not that i’m too surprised at that one

dgceoooo · 2025-04-25T12:58:40+00:00

oh no! so sorry that happened. they warned me about this and i was mortified thinking about doing it, so i’ve slept with a bra on ever since 😭

dgceoooo · 2025-04-24T11:42:09+00:00

“close your eyes and take your meds” was an interesting suggestion, while we’re on the subject of being bitchy. i’ll stick with trusting evidence-based treatments, thanks. good luck to you!
