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 ,

Little wonder you're feeling tired @Shaz51. You are only recently back at work, and so many other things going on with carer responsibilities. Now it turns out your kidney function has dropped ... AND .. now its confirmed you also have an infection which your poor bod is trying its hardest to fight off! That alone will make you tired, let alone everything else my friend. You need a break. A chance to permit the antibiotics to kick in. What are the chances?

very true @Former-Member

so the gp wants to do a new tests to see if there are any changes

Has Mr Shaz said anything about the possibility of MI review @Shaz51?

Have a cold, so a bit stuffed up here. Been taking it easy doing a jigsaw.

Mr shaz just nodded his head and said nothing , even when the doctor asked him for permission to do a history check @Former-Member

Mr Darcy's pdoc said that when stable a six monthly review would be adequate @Shaz51.

Not that they think he is unstable @Shaz51, just need to get him off this med safely.

@Former-Member, @Former-Member

yes it was a good idea , just we were not expecting it this morning

Re: Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Many studies done showing hot weather = grumpy, angry, less productive @Shaz51 (for everyone, but worse with MI)

Looked it up as @Queenie posted about it on the LE side about it.

Managing it by drinking extra water and doing things to keep cool is recommended.
