Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

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 ,

Sore big toe = 😬 @Shaz51

Hopefully Mr Shaz will get it seen to soon.

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

yes mr shaz thinks the doctor will cut some of the big toenail off @Former-Member, which means he will be unable to do the jobs and the jobs will build up which will put hia anxiety through the roof

Hi @Shaz51 > sorry to hear Mr Shaz is not feeling good this evening. I have noticed the sensitivity I have with alcohol and depressed mood in getting older. Good call on stopping/cutting down. You can also use the wine in a pasta sauce (tomato/red cream/white)!! I hope you have a good eve 🧡

very mixed day today @Former-Member, @Former-Member, @xtine, @Determined, @Faith-and-Hope, @outlander, @peppipatty , @appleblossom, @adge

I think I will need another thread for me soon

how is your day going xx

ended up no work today ,

Mr shaz started the day with a headache so when we finally got home from the specialist he had a massive headache , he went to bed and is still asleep

just had a cuppa and thinking of all the things the specialist told me

amm here goes

  • Kidney stable at 24%
  • Have Diabetes
  • Cholestrol is too high
  • have to drink 2 an a half litres of water a day
  • increase the meds I am on now
  • Have Vesicoureteral Reflux
  • arthritis / Hiatus Hernia

but apart from this , the specialist is happy but we need to get these things under control or else , so another specialist appt on the 5th july -- don`t need to see the kidney specialist for 6 months
