Riba rage?

Anyone having any riba rage or extreme irritation? People around here have got a new nickname for me...Linda Blair LOL Everyone knew how difficult this would be going into it with me but I will be a rats butt if they don't ask me , "whats wrong with you"? My head spins around and well you can only imagine...exorcist LOL I didnt have such of a difficult time last times I did treatment but I was 8 years younger last one I did. I am 48 now and pre-menopausal going into this so.... Just wondering if anyone else feels extreme irritability?

I remember my first treatment back in 2000 when I was taken 3 interferon shots a week.  I had to go the clinic to get my lab work done every 2 weeks and one day I went, feeling just horrible...and was waiting at the front of the line when this guy walks in and decides he is going to stand in front of me....obviously he did not know the danger that lurked behind him. The nurse called out, "Who's next?" and I screamed in a voice only Linda Blair can do, "I AM!!!!"  This man's face went white and he quickly moved aside...(smart move!) and I proceeded to the front desk.  Everyone in the clinic was looking at me like I  was a crazy...which now that I think of it, I must have been at that point...lol ...thank goodness we can laugh about our experiences...

I went off on my dog the other night. I gave them a treat and my boxer has to sniff it and make sure it's boxer worthy, so while he was doing this the 126lb yellow lab ponces like a shark stole it. I pulled him out from under the table, stuck mhand down his throat got the treat and gave it to the boxer. My husband was hysterically laughing! :)

Riba Rage is pretty prevalent in me right now.   I had a Huge episode this morning and told everyone to go away.   I am on anxiety meds & AD but INC is really making my AD not work full potential right now.  
11 days on countdown off of Inc, so I am hopefully looking at some peaceful days for the future.   Ready for Riba Retirement, and it cant come soon enough :)

just lost it in the shower-showerhead was leaking, DH fixed it. He then did a dead on imitation of me losing it soaking wet and mad as a wet hen. I'm glad I'm already on AD's.

Have been told to shut up, take my anxiety meds and go back to bed on a couple of occasions, by family members I'm staying with while treating and it was well deserved.

You know it's not really the riba it's the interferon right, it's just called ribarage cause it sounds snappier (no pun intended).
