Mood change…

I started my treatment with viral load more than 5 million. First shot of Pegasus was horrible, I don’t have another word to explain it… I started feel the reaction after 2 hours… Now I’m on my 26th week, and Motrin is my best friend on my weekends. My viral load dropped to 14 - at least here some good news. The bad news is my mood. The situation at home is not looking good – constant “fights” with my wife, our girls (we have 2 beautiful daughters) see that and they started fight each other. We are trying to stop them – who is right, who is not…  Oh, God… This is like snow ball – getting bigger and bigger. I think I’m just losing control… or already lost it… Yesterday after another scene my wife told me she wants to get divorce… I know that I’m the only one who is responsible for this situation, I wish I can control myself better….

I know what you are going through, My boyfriend has been on the treatment for almost 6 months and it is hard for him and me.. All I can tell you is talk to your Dr he can perscribe drugs for you to help and wacth your diet, I know it sounds stupid but it really can make a difference in how you feel and are able to handle the treatment. High fat and LOTS of water. We also found that Vitamin water ( the orange one) helped the immune system. I wish you all the best

Larry i just got threw reading what you posted I have been going threw alote of the same problems as you I get so fricken irritated with my now x of 3  and my kids they just think i am suppose to be so chipper i am biopolar and am not on meds due to the side effect I am like a ragging lunitic at times treatment has a way of bringing out the worst in me sounds like it has the same effect on you.  Have you tried telling your Dr maybe he can give you a mood stabilizer and maybe an anti-deprresant. Gosh I wish I had the answer for you.  You need to know your not alone. Hangin there maybe take some walks or something jourmal get on this websit and vent to us well listen people are great.
