Normally......

Robin,

I'm so sorry it's so stressful right now for you. That just makes

thing worse. Not everyone can handle it. I always say that is it so

much harder for everyone else to deal with it than it is me. They

love you, and they feel totally helpless...they just have to watch

you suffer. I'm sure his heart is in the right place, he's just

stressed out too. I'm not sure what will help him deal with it

better. I went through a divorce because my exhusband couldn't deal

with my illness, and he refused to get help to deal with it. I'm

actually glad he did, because now, I have a wonderful man who is so

supportive. Your husband has to realize that he needs to help you be

strong. Hopefully this is just one of those " humps " you have to get

through. Hopefully, venting helped.

Hope this post finds you feeling better.

Robin,

I think we all go through this with our loved ones. There is really nothing I

can tell you other than to take advantage of the good days that you have. Have

him go with you to the doctor and have the doctor explain the need for the pain

meds to him. In this day and age there is no doctor out there stupid enough to

give you more pain meds than you need. The risk to them is just too great.

Also let him know how he made you feel. It was probably just some stupid man

thing and he didn't realize he was going to hurt your feelings so much.

Sometimes they don't realize how you feel yourself. Men usually like to pretend

there is no problem so that it will go away. For them it is sometimes to

pretend than to face the facts. It is mans way of dealing with things. Men can

be so stupid sometimes! URGHHHHHH!!!!!! Go slap him around a little that will

make you feel better! LOL
