finally feel like ****

I'm hoping the sides are finally kicking in....but I think they might be. I feel like complete sh*t today. I'm in the middle of the 9th week (out of 24) and haven't had much in the way of sides. But I started feeling nauseated and flu-like last night and feel like my body has been run over by a truck and feel just exhausted and just ICKY and uncomfortable. It's a weird physical "down pressure" that's hard to explain to anyone.

"If you truly had alot of empathy for others, you would not have started that ridiculous thread that you are grateful you have HCV in the first place."

I really don't see how that makes any sense at all. Some agreed with me and thought I had a good attitude, so it just seems as though people like you are the only ones offended. I still stand by that thread and still mean everything I said.

"I have a lot of empathy for others, but I do come across that way to people who don't know me or my true agenda. "

If you truly had alot of empathy for others, you would not have started that ridiculous thread that you are grateful you have HCV in the first place.  See if you can wrap your head around that.  I doubt it.

Good post - I know at times when I tell people to "suck it up" in trying to keep them motivated it comes off as arrogant and snobbish too, it's easy enough for me to forget sometimes how incredibly difficult those 72 weeks were.  And not just the sides but KNOWING how long they could (did) potentially last.  

It's very easy to sit back and say "wow the air up here is just great" when you are sitting up at the top of the mountain looking down at all the people stuck under the clouds, in the rain, at the bottom (especially when it rains so long and hard the the dam breaks and tries to wash you out to sea - and then some sharks come and try to eat you - then the hunter trying to save you accidentally hits you with the harpoon...then even being on the bottom of the mountain doesn't look quite so bad if you get what I mean).  ;)

You're right about your assessment of me, Trinity. I did have an arrogant attitutde. That's because I am a cocky person by nature. I have a lot of empathy for others, but I do come across that way to people who don't know me or my true agenda.

....and guess what? I'm feeling great today and I'm kicking this hep c's a$$! I'm the king!
