Anger is a known side effect of liver disease. And just being sick and tired and achy just about all the time does not help. What helps is slowing down. But most of us can’t. If we do we won’t be able to eat and pay the rent.
People with symptomatic HCV should be on disability pensions. They should have home care, and day care provided for their children. They should have help cleaning their homes and doing the shopping and cooking.
When you are tired and achy and nauseous and dizzy, getting caught up in the day-to-day aspects of life becomes increasingly difficult. Often you feel like you have cement in your blood. You feel so heavy.
So when you feel overwhelmed by the welfare system, or a doctor, or a bank clerk or whomever, it’s no wonder you just might explode.
The best thing is to have a friend who understands. Joining a local support group really helps.
