What were the challenges you faced when your Dr. put you for a lifelong medication? Was the transition easy? Feel free to share it here.

Panicking and being stressed is a normal feeling. However, life must not end so try to engage in activities that make you happy. Distracting yourself could help. Also, as to food intake, you really must switch to healthy foods.

Do you have any experience working with therapists? I am actually considering getting one.

Hi cargette,
I'm a long term survivor with an SCT that has been dormant since 2012. I've been on meds ever since, including blood thinners for life after I developed lung embolisms following my spinal surgery. That med was easy to adjust to. Other meds came in to deal with pain from nerve damage in my foot [Tramadol] and Baclofen to help with the cramps I was getting. I'd be interested to know what meds you're on and why they've been prescribed. Are you in pain? Taking pain meds is a choice, but believe me, if I could find a better drug for nerve pain I would take it like a shot. My feeling is that getting used to a whole new you is part of the recovery process. Everything changed for me the day after surgery, when I went from being a healthy 64 year old to a shuffling, needy 84 year old. I think therapy could be helpful - I needed it.
