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

Prehaps he could make a note as to whether these dizzy spells are related to when he takes PRN meds, when he gets up quickly or whether or not they happen if he turns his head quickly and in which direction - up, down, left or right @Shaz51. These things might be helpful for doc to know.

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

You can google the drug and side effects - it could be dose dependent too @Shaz51 - side effects noticeable if he takes extra - or misses a dose and compensates by taking double next time. Could be something else too ... dizziness can be related to so many things.

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

I can understand his reluctance in one respect. Continuity of care is often a key to good psych management. Might pay to check and see if pdoc 60km away is still there - seems to be quite a turnaround in staff in public hospital system @Shaz51.

How are you today?
