So there I was, was I, at HCV support group, and one lady I'm friendly with comes in and clearly has a bead on for me. Body language, when she looks my way she narrows her eyes and she launches into this whole tirade, outwardly directed at me but she's really just pissed that she did tx and just got her results and her virus is back. She even goes into a sarcastic thing about oh you're the queen now, no virus and all this support and yada yada. The entire time, other people are looking at me to see I'm just going to sit there and be dissed like that. I'm glad that most of the ribaviron is out of my system, and she should be also, because I kept my mouth s h u t except to make a joke to ask if she wanted to meet me in the alley after group to kick my ass. I'm taking it as a compliment because I did tons of footwork and fought for myself to be sitting in that room with enough positives in the experience that she thinks I'm a target. She is psycho though, psy-cho, even when she isn't coming off of ribaviron. Then I gave her a ride home. Me, I am kar-a-zee for even talking to her.

    Beverly, That was so restrained of you, so cool. ( so, when are you posting the anthrax?) No, I think if I was in that situation I would probably feel really sorry for them. Most people are happy for you but some (psyco's in particular) just can't be. There was this guy on another forum who didn't clear and he went really weird and dark and bitter...........

    I think your great for holding your temper, seeing it for what it was and giving her support.
    Good on ya girl.

      >>Then I gave her a ride home.<<

      I like the way you went the extra mile and rubbed those hot coals on her head. I admire people who are able to empathize and think about what another person may be going through when they are not nice to you. That is the best thing about our tribe here, we understand each other.

        wow bev, I'm impressed, you get the serenity award for the day. I would have clocked the b&^$!! I don't have a large amount of riba rage, but have slipped into a completely Vocodin induced stripping of all inhibitions and I don't tolerate fools or mean people well.

        I want to come live by you and/or Tonja, you 2 can be my serenity guru's. A little yoga, a bit of acupuncture, some meditation. But alas will have to settle for a bubble bath and 250 mgs, lol.

          Sherrill, Tonya is the real deal, I just had a mometary lapse. If the truth be told, I was secretly delighted that she was pissed at me because I figured then she would stop calling and emailing and expecting a ride. Unfortunately, I was wrong.

          You've been quiet Sherrill, the vicodin explains it. Where are you at? When are you being retested?

            Actually am most lively during the day when the vicodin is acting, I only take a 1/2 of one in the a.m. for the itch, it really helps me concentrate and work. I have mostly been quiet as I only have sporadic moments of lucidity, the rest is a hazy fog.

            I believe I am at 20 weeks and actually they won't be testing again until the end as the doc has agreed to let me go 48 weeks no matter what. I only do the cbc tests until then no viral load.

            Well perhaps you need to take a offensive stance and have someone drive you next time or take the bus or a cab and leave her standing. In addition I have discovered that I can, not answer my phone or e-mail and the world does not fold in on itself.

            I screen calls and e-mails only for the people that feed my soul and I know love me, the rest can wait until next yr, lol.

              You are so funny Sherrill, every message I get on my phone is 'I know you are there and not picking up'. My friend's dog died, and prior to the event I had promised to fly out and be with her. I didn't check my vm for a long time or read emails, then finally I saw a re line that was enticing, so I read all and listened to messages. The dog was put down and she was upset that I didn't even call her for over a week. Nice. Good one Bev.
