with the tired thing. You're kind of burnt out today on with CH. I'm sorry about that and more that you're dealing with the pain that caused the burn out. You know you can't give up so I won't go there and give you all the reasons, like understanding how much that would hurt your loved ones and friends. Or reminding you that this will all pass and when it does you'll be even more happy you didn't give up. The pain, burnout and despair won't be there forever. However, if I was to give you the reasons, that might be some of the things I'd say. I probably would include that they get closer to a cure everyday because of the research and better understanding of many aspects of what we have. But that part will have to wait for another day too.
Instead, I'll say I wish you had a more understanding husband with these things. Have you showed him the info from this site to help him understand more? You'd think that him watching what you go through would be enough. But sometimes some people need to see something from an authority figure like a doctor or researcher before they'll believe their own eyes.
Good luck and feel better.
