Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer.

Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.
It must be the dreaded Riba Rage, LOL!
I'm already a dickhead. And when you put me on medication that has a primary side effect of irritability, what do you get?
Well, you get someone who wants to shout at his wife just because the spaghetti wasnt cooked to my specifications, LOL. That was my first thought last night. Luckily I took a breath and held it, not sure if I was able to mask my face or not. I think I need to meditate every day. Seriously.

Try to recognize it when it starts and give a heads up to your partner and family. I always needed a time out because when it would start it would escalate, the more I tried to explain my irrational bad mood.
We decide that when I felt it coming on I would grab my "bad mood" ball cap and put it on, nothing more needed to be said.
Off to a quiet place I'd go until it passed which was usually fairly soon.
Figure out your own strategy and give your loved ones a "heads up".
Good luck!
Your wife's cooking is jeopardizing your health. INSIST ON GOOD PASTA
Get a Ball Cap MrOSO :):)
Almost everybody and everything can disappoint us on these meds. It's def part of the game I can now say first hand. I've had to take a step back lately and realize the drugs make me a little crazy. It's tricky though. You feel like everything is the same at times but we are definitely more emotional, more sensitive, we have way more time to over think things and it makes us a little depressed and ragey.
But bad spaghetti can be tragic. Right up there with a dirty dish left in the sink.
@ Joe, too funny. Do you have a copy of that article I can show my wife, :-)
@ debbare, I'm pretty sure Joe was kidding. Either that, or he sleeps alone in a cave somewhere.
@ Mike, spaghetti is one of my all-time favorite foods, and I agree, it must be perfect. The water must be at a FULL boil, then you have to cover it right away so it comes to a boil again quickly. Of course it will boil over, so you have to watch it like hawk and uncover it again. Finally you have maybe a 20 second window to take it out once it is done. Hmm, maybe next time I should just cook it myself and let her run to Redbox!
Ill be darned if I know what an italian sposed to look lik either!

Oso- sorry about the spaghetti.... Lots of things like that irritated me, but like fishboy said, a good anti-anxiety/anti-depressant could help.. If nothing else, a ball cap, mediation, and maybe some yoga? Oh and the number to a good takeout joint, too!!
Big Hugs!!
