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 ,

He is only young @Shaz51. I'm 59. 😃

Its best to know though. It can be treated if caught early. Unfortunately too many people put off getting checked. I dont know much about prostate cancer, but I was not aware it was hereditory? I feel sure he is needlessly concerned. The falls are more likely caused by some of his meds or BP issues.

it was hereditory? -- it is @Former-Member, he has had enlarged prostrate in the past

butit could be something totally different or by some of his meds or BP issues. , so trying to encourage him to just see the doctor and it will be all good xx

@Shaz51 if there seems to be a pattern to the falls seem to be related to looking left, right, up, down, on rising it can help pin point cause. Not drinking adequate water in the heat can also be a factor ... the list goes on.
