I feel like I am going to die...parasite medication. Brings on massive headaches as the infection is treated. I am having trouble eating. They told me it was gone 3 years ago, what did I know? Doctor : "The stress of the court situation depressed you immune system. Any normal person could not have handled it and you have a compromised immune system".

I am happy it is being treated but I am afraid. I don't know how I am going to take care of myself. I am actually afraid something bad is going to happen. I have lost so much weight. Massive massive headaches and the trouble eating (from meds and what I have) is making the headaches worse. I don't even want to get out of bed.

I can't handle this alone.

Well then it is a good thing that you are not alone, Yack... We are here.

I know you can probably use help with this IRL but we are here for encouragement and support.

Don't "predict" what is going to happen. That is a bad trap for people with depression. This may turn out OK. Assuming the worst will eat up a lot of your available energy that could be used toward healing.

Easier said than done, I know... But let us remind you.

(((yack)))) we're here. It does mean that you have to learn how to limit your stress, and your reaction to stressful events (as they often crop up in spite of our best intentions.) That's why I go to T so much, trying to find a "normal" for myself without getting sick.

I hope the side effects go quickly. You need some nourishment... or the headaches will come from that too! Do your best take care!

((((((((((Yackie)))))))))))) I'm sorry you're so sick. I hope it clears up quickly for you.

(((((((((((Yack))))))))))))) I hope you feel better soon. We're here to listen.
