I don't know if its the AI's or what but I have such a short fuse these days.  I get snappy with everyone over nothing and I don't want to be that way.  My DH who has been great during this ordeal seems to get his head biten off by me at least twice a day and my little girls have to hear me rant and rave over the smallest things.  I want to stop but seem to go off before I realize it, not trying to be morbid but I don't want my girls to remember me as the mom who wouldn't shut up and yelled over everything.  Maybe I should switch AI's again....

    Jennifer, sorry you are going through so much.  When you are not ranting can you sit your family down and explain to them how sorry you are that they have to experience this disease without having it.  How old are your girls?  Even if they are too young to understand DH may be able to give you some slack.  Are you on an antidepressant? 

    It's not easy but you can do it.  Don't beat youself up; try to explain and maybe DH can take the girls out of the house when you are feeling down.

    HUGS - your cyberfriends are with you.

    Thanks patoo...I'm guess I'm ok, just seem to snap at everyone so easy.  No I'm not on antidepressants and my girls are 2 & 4.  My DH does understand and never says much when I'm having a moment, he know it's the new me since dx.  I guess I was wondering if anyone else was having the same problems with AI's.  Thanks again.

    Hi,

    I was EXTRA grumpy when I first started Tamox but have gotten better controlling my temper. I guess just like other SEs, mood swings come and go too. It was a little embarassing but I explained early on to the people around me that Tamox can cause mood swings. Embarassed

    You are going through a lot so please be kind to yourself. Take care.
