Re: Ribo Rage - My boyriend is angry and hostile. Is this normal?

[Guest guest]

Dear Kim,

Ribo Rage IS very normal, he needs to talk to his doctor immediately and explain

the situation, but if he wants to clear

the virus he sure needs to stop all alcohol, or he is more than likely spinning

his wheels. The research on that is out there.. Best to you both, Sheena

is coming from because we have a good relationship. I thought maybe he would

calm down after freaking out but he is still, almost dillusional. I told him

that I think he is behaving like this due to the drugs and he says that no one

Hi Kim

Im so sorry that your boyfriend is suffering from Ribarage,, he really needs to call his doc and if he wont call, you should because the Interferon depletes the brain

of seretonin and that is what is causing the rage, probably causing severe insomnia too. The doc will probably give him a SSRI to help and maybe something for anxiety

too. And like Sheena said, IF HE IS DRINKING ANY Alcohol, he's wasting his time treating and if he is already undetectible, he's behaving very very foolishly and his doc needs

to know. He needs to stop drinking, get the antidepressant and finish treatment if he wants to get rid of this virus.. He's very lucky to have you there and please dont allow him to abuse

you but he really needs to know that he is so very lucky to have someone who cares while he's going through tx..

keep us updated,

jax

Hi, thank you for your response. I will put a call into his doctor right now.

What I don't understand is, how can't he see he isn't acting right? I assumed

it's like when I'm hormonal from not taking my thyroid meds. I become a lunatic,

but I KNOW I'm not right. I can feel I'm off. Can't he feel that?

Well, his doctor called me back last night and I told her everything. She says

she wants to pull him off his meds if he can't handle them, and that it's

already passed the point of getting on anti-depressants because those will take

2 weeks to get into his blood stream and start working. She said she was going

to call him, and she did, but he didn't answer. She left a message, and

instantly I got a, " What did you do? Why are you calling my doctor? " I'm sure

when he talks to her today it will be a fit of fury after hanging up the phone.

I can't believe this is happening.

Speaking as someone who has been through treatment 3 times.

Yes, he might have ribo rage, but you don't have to put up with his actions. If he gets abusive call 911. Don't get hurt because of his actions.

He does need something to help him through this. And if his doctor needs to she could hospitalize him.

Might be something you could discuss.

We are worried about you so keep us advised on what is going on.

Love

Janet

Hi Janet. Thank you for your response. So, this is the latest... Since last

weekend when I saw him drinking a beer, I don't believe he has since. He told me

he only had one, and our mutual friends told me the same. Since then, I have

been talking to him about the effects of the drugs that I have learned, etc..

And slowly, he is coming back down to reality after his hellacious temper

tantrum. He is still being a jerk, but he doesn't seem to be so raged. He has

daily been coming down more and more, until last night he finally told me that

he has been having extreme mental issues with the fact that he has lost so much

weight, and he looks like a 'tweeker' again, and he is ashamed and embarrassed

and it is a mental aspect of this that he didn't expect and he is having a hard

time dealing with it. He said he doesn't want me to see him looking like he did

when he was a teenager when he got this disease. I don't think he looks THAT

bad, but I have to say, it has played a couple mental tricks on me as well

seeing him losing so much weight. So just this morning, I get a text message

from him saying, that he is packing up and coming home, and that he can't be

away from me and our home any longer, and that he isn't well. He said he doesn't

know if he can physically handle to work much longer, and that he just feels

absolutely worthless. He said that he understands now the depression and the

altered train of thought, and he is willing to go to counseling and get on

anti-depressants and anything else needed to get through this. He also said that

his doctor called him today and said that she is worried about him and that the

treatment is affecting his bone marrow. She came in on her day off to call him.

She wants to see him immediately. I'm kind of freaking out right now. I think at

this point he should just stop putting this poison in his body. He has been on

it almost 2 months and was undectable after a month. I wonder if he quit now, if

he would remain undetected? Does anyone have any information about this bone

marrow issue? I am going to get him some muscle milk to try and help keep

calories in him. He is down to 145 pounds. This is just....so disheartening.

Actually with the rage he is having, right now might be the time to apply. He needs to get a mental health evaluation. But it seems to me, those with mental illness seem to get benefits faster than just the disease. At least in this area of the country. You might have to get a SSD lawyer. They are advertisting all the time on TV. But your best bet is check with someone you know that used on and get their feedbake.

I got turn down, even tho, I had Hep C,Diabetes,but I didn't bring put the fact that I was dx'd bipolar. My best friend simply has bipolar disorder. Two months later she got a check.

Go figure.

Hope this helps.

I think there are other members in the group that are on SSD

And they probably know more about this than I do.

Hugs,

Janet

Hi Kim,

I got on social security disability in 2001 from having fatigue from the Hep C

and depression. The doctor needs to put in the medical records about the

fatigue and whatever mental problems he has. It is good to list every little

thing when you apply whether you think it would matter or not. I was turned

down the first time and got a lawyer and was approved the second time. Talking

to a lawyer would be the best thing because they know all the little things that

matter. They won't charge you anything. When you win the case, they take a

percentage from the back pay. Now would be a good time to apply.

> > > > Hi everyone. I haven't posted in a year or so. My boyfriend, who has

started treatment 5 weeks ago, has turned into someone I don't even know. He was

the sweetest, most tolerable, forgiving person, and he has turned into the

meanest person I know. His irritation is instantaneous. We got into an argument

last weekend, and he flipped out of control. Broke a couple things, said some

extremely hurtful things and left. This is NOT his normal behavior. I gave him a

couple days to cool off and went to see him last night. He was drinking a beer,

and was still just being a jerk. He just, hates the world. I have no idea who

this person is, and now he says he is moving out. I keep asking him where this

is coming from because we have a good relationship. I thought maybe he would

calm down after freaking out but he is still, almost dillusional. I told him

that I think he is behaving like this due to the drugs and he says that no one

else seems to have a problem

Please help. And please anyone feel free to send me a private email at

eightiesgurl@ I have no one to talk to about this as no one knows he has Hep so

everyone just thinks he's being an ass. I'm going insane over here. Thanks.
