oh, man

Not posted in the person's journal whose entry inspired it, but it's no
secret I feel this way, so I'm not locking it:

If your reaction to being ill, and having your medication give you the
side effect of no appetite, is to be happy you're losing weight, *and to
hope it continues*, there is something wrong. This is not healthy. This
is not good.

*sigh*

In that case

My neurologist would have put me on a different medication to begin with. We discussed the possible side effects before I started taking it, and since I was overweight, and did want to lose a nice chunk, I was perfectly happy to learn that appetite supression was a possible side effect. I was also very, very happy to stop having migraines daily, which was the main point of taking the medication, just as not having cancer was the main point of having chemo was for you, wasn't it.
