Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Hello @PeppiPatty, over here my special friend xx

Hello Everyone

Love to hear from others on the forum if you experience this

My hubby has been diagnosed with lots of things and has had MI all his life

do you find things goes ok and i start to feel confident and wanting to go forward and then everytime something always happens to upset it -- sometimes I think is it a controlling thing ?? that he wants to be in control ??

Don`t know if I am making this up , but i have that feeling ,

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

yes Autoimmune disorders covers a lots of different diseases @Former-Member, @Former-Member, @Determined , @Faith-and-Hope , so am feeling overwelmed at the moment

also Hypoglycemia was talked about

I think the doctor wanted to do a venesection this afternoon and then decided to ring around to other specialist -- the blood specialist and the Endocrinology

so now the waiting game

@Shaz51
A lot of "what ifs" happening from the sound of things aka limbo land which is sometimes an uncomfortable place to be in.
