Ups and Downs of Husband`s Mental Illness

Hopefully they have that VIP couch and personal parking space ready for you @Shaz51.

ha ha yea @Former-Member, or else mr shaz will totally change his mind once again xxx

I wasn't going to mention that @Shaz51 (even though I did think it) 😀.

Hi @Shaz51

Metabolic Acidosis - that is rotten luck - no need to tell me about it - I am aways curious and looked it up of course

I guess they will control that with diet and I hope it gets sorted quickly

Working must make you very tired and I read that Mr Shaz didn't want to take his medication because he didn't want to get tired - but then took them later - which I am glad about - taking medication is not fun at all and does make us tired - my BP medication does that - I fall asleep without feeling drowsy - in the afternoon - so that's one reason I am not trying to get my licence again - it could turn out really bad

I hear you Mum is home from hospital again and has had 10 admissions - since when I forget - she seems like a tough old lady and not prepared to give in - I admire her for that but it is hard on you

Thinking of you esp with the heat

Dec

mum is a tough old lady @Owlunar very true i did everthing you can think of for mum today -- she has to see a specialist next week , we will take her up 60 kms away and back

working does make me tired my second mum

@Former-Member, Mr shaz rang the mental health today to make a appt --- boy they asked him thousands of questions over the phone , thought he was going to hang up a couple of times

saw the doctor for the xray results , no breaks , have to have a scan has he thinks it is a tendon, and he has arthritis in there too

so no work this afternoon , the doctor asked him if he wanted a letter for a week off --- ammmmmmm you don`t get one if you are self employed

Mr shaz is sooo ready to give up the bussiness

@Former-Member, @Determined, @Appleblossom, @Faith-and-Hope

There's one for the books @Shaz51 he may yet follow through ... hoping that it leads to improved outcomes for him.

hope soo too @Former-Member

they sid they will get in touch in a couple of weeks time

There's one for the books --- I know @Former-Member, and he actually wants to go off the meds , but then he said to the lady that he wants to stay on the meds

@Shaz51 the twin not fond of his meds. Due to past problems I advocate fiercely for him, producing scholarly articles and asking questions. We do however respect the advice given and Mr D would not stop or change meds without input and liasion with pdoc.

mr shaz and I like him on his meds @Former-Member so i think mr shaz would like to stay on the meds he is on now

I like Mr Darcy on meds that work @Shaz51, I would not want him in the space he was before and certainly would not support going off meds. We have run into trouble with serious side effects and he was given drugs that made his condition worse 😬.
