Is anyone else ever (even temporarily or very briefly) thankful for anything they or others would usually consider a bad side effect of their treatment?

Normally it's annoying, unhelpful or at the least something I just get on with, but just at the moment, just briefly it is a relief. And that's strange for me.

Thoughts? And no I don't wish to be more specific.

	I'm not really in 'treatment', but if it's good for now... that doesn't seem like it's really a problem. Unless it's one of those things you think you should be worried about / trying to fix but it's easier to ignore it or be numb. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It's something that cycles around and I'm used to it. Usually it's a bit annoying but I'm just thankful for now. I'm not worried, just confused because I'm not usually thankful. Just thought I'd use this new thing to see if anyone else had a reaction like that sometime. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What's changed? (Obviously, you don't have to tell me, but maybe if you think about what in your treatment / life has changed you'll figure out why this has.) Yeah. I'm glad someone's using it! I've wanted to, but the only thing I can think of to say is really identifying. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	For once I do actually know why it's different this time. I can't explain without making it obvious who I am. But I do know why. I was more wondering if anyone else had had a good reaction to something that might be objectively or normally seen as shitty. Yes I know how you feel. Basically anything else I could say is easily identifiable, at least to my friends. (Reply to this) (Parent)

I would ask you to define treatment to give you a better reply, but that would go against you not wanting to be more specific probably so I will go with no because I am not receiving treatment. Based on an assuming of possible side effects however I can say were I receiving treatment there is a good chance I would be thankful for some of the side effects I can think of even if that thankfulness did not last long.

	Original writer here. I kind of wish I hadn't said treatment to be honest. For me it's a treatment thing, but for others something might fall into 'general after effects of war etc.' category. Glad you think it seems possible. And yes, trying to explain any more would give away more than I want to. Thank you though. (Reply to this) (Parent)
