[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 672996, member: 17542"] Thank you Lucy...I spent a lot of time Wednesday obsessing about how he might have contracted something I didn't even know he had for sure yet. He could have done IV drugs and just isn't going to tell anybody. The old me would have gone nuts until I knew 100 percent how it happened. That is my need to control the uncontrollable. I went back to my old ways of thinking for a while but I kept a lid on my behavior for the most part. Yesterday I realized it doesn't matter how he got it. I am choosing to believe him but I also know I will never know and really don't need to know the extent of his activities. Anyway...you get what I mean. There is treatment for this---interferon---but that won't cure it and in his current state with the illness no treatment is indicated. There are many side effects with interferon. I am working to just go slow and take one step at a time. He is going to need to do a lot of new things and he needs time to assimilate that and start moving forward. I will be supportive and encouraging but I can't do it for him and I won't do it for him. Another day in the life...thanks for your kind words. I didn't feel so strong the last couple of days but I am better today. I hope you are well. [/QUOTE]
