        Maybe this will help you decide:

        Husband did interferon. Had a great deal of difficulty, especially with memory loss due to the fact he was a possible drug abuser or alcohol abuser in the past. Two peas in a pod, she seems to enjoy the same by her posts.

        See for yourself:

        My only caution about Interferon would be to be careful with it if you have had any drug abuse or alcohol issues in the past. The data was hard for me to find at the time, but it is not recommended in these circumstances. Although it has been 6 years since he did 6 months of it, he still suffers occasionaly from slight mental disfunction when stressed or tires. But, he IS still alive.

        After 6 mos of Interferon, my husband was taken off of it because of what was termed "moderate" delirium. He was behaving exactly as if he was raving drunk, which he was not. His connection to reality was severely impaired. After much research, I found a few studies which suggested that previous drug/alcohol abuse can be a factor, and that those with this history should not use it. To this day, he still becomes quite "unfocused" when tired or stressed. I don't have the actual studies anymore (after 5 years, I threw them out.)

        Hence the spouses hatred of interferon in recent posts.

        Then: Husband died. Several years ago in September, hence feeling the way they do right now as in the month or so before his death, this was most likely the most difficult time for them both of them.

        Beginning of her email: secretseahag.

        Who has the beginning of their email “secretseahag“?

        Her Occupation listed in her profile: Lethargist

        Definition: the quality or state of being lazy, sluggish, or indifferent

        Basically: the religion for those who don't give a shit.

        (One out of four I would say no, two of four maybe, four of four, have to go with yes)

        Also, compare these posts and sentence structure to some of her earlier ones, especially the ones relating to interferon. That and perhaps a little too much to drink….

        This woman needs help!
