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 ,

hello @Former-Member

you were asking about taking photos

I booked a room where mr shaz wanted to take time lapses of the street at night

but when we got there , they upgranded us to a seaview room on the 11th floor

but we soon got over that and enjoyed it @Former-Member

Thumbs up for the room upgrade @Shaz51 😀👍

Shame that the planned street time-lapse photos were not possible 😕👎 But perhaps Mr Shaz was able to do something with the sea views? Did you have a sunrise or sunset that you could use the time-lapse method with?

Really glad you were able to enjoy a little time away, even if it wasnt as long as you had planned. At least car is fixed now.

How are your aching limbs going? Are you able to take anything to help ease the pain? Usual anti-inflams would not be possible for you due to kidney issues I'd imagine.

Are you able to take anything to help ease the pain?

only can take paracetamol @Former-Member , @Former-Member

I find soaking in epsom salts is good too

I try to explain my aches and pains but people don`t really understand

I get these aches and pains like real bad like say ( in my arm at the moment ) ,

if i get a scan they say it is arthritis

but after 2 weeks the aches and pain have moved to another part of the body ( Like the leg ) and then the Hip , etc

did Mr @Former-Member experience anything like this

I have put it down to "Urea buildup" int the body

Hi ladies - I would love to know when I have done the right amount - I so easily overdo -

I'm sorry people have pain - and a migrating pain like yours Shaz could be a build up of urea - I really don't know but it seems you have to take really basic pain medication and if the pain is bad - ah yeah - we do what we can I guess but it can't be easy

60 km is a long way to drive for an overnight stay but getting new clothes and an upgrade on the accommodation sounds pretty good. It sounds as if Mr Shaz had enough though - I hope you both feel rested even though - yeah - the car took longer to fix and the power went out -

But you went and it sounds like a good night
