Marriage falling apart over Dignosis?!

June 17, 2006

For the first time in over 2 years I am starting to feel like myself

again. But as a lot of you know this disease seems to bring on many

other health issues as well. Along with my RA and Lupus, I also have

mononeuropathy multiplex which cause my legs to loose feeling and I

have to sit immediately or I fall and foot drop. I also have

vasculitis from the lupus and I have severe iron defficient aneamia.

At first my husband was very supportive and excited that we were

finally getiing some answers. Then he started to become distant and I

just thought maybe this was his way of dealing. He didn't want to

hear anything the doctors had to say and I just thought that he was

having a hard time watching me be sick, taking soooo many medications

and adjusting to them. But now he won't talk to me at all. I try to

talk to him but he flat out ignores me. I can tell he feels annoyed

and frustrated because I can't do the things that I used to be able

to. I can't stay out in the sun, I can't drink anymore so I don't

feel like going out. Has anyone else had problems because of their

illnesses. I am tired of trying to make things better with him and

work on getiing better myself mentally and physically. Any

suggestions would be greatly appreciated. He is my highschool

sweatheart and I love him very much. We have been married 8 years and

we are both 26 and I am starting to feel like all this is too much for

him to handle, not me. Best wishes to all of you and sorry about the

long post. Holly
