I just wanted to say ‘thank you’ for writing about your struggles. My husband was diagnosed in October 2012 with Grave’s and we’ve had a rollercoaster of emotions, physical symptoms etc. We’ve done fairly well even with lot’s of other emotional turmoil around the holidays, (lost my job-but have a new one, etc!) It seemed like we were on the upswing the past month, but then last week the ugly baby reared it’s head and my husband is having one of the worst mood/emotional spells to date.
We actually don’t have health insurance until Friday, (since I had to wait 30 days before new kicked in) and he’s scheduled to see his endo next week, but I convinced him to call his primary and they are fitting him in today. They’ll just have to get their money in installments for this one! I’m not sure what/if he’ll be able to give him…at this point I’d settle for a drug that just put him to asleep for a week until his appt. if I thought that would help curb the anxiety.
This is really, really hard…and I don’t think we are close to the end…each time we think his meds are balanced we are thrown a loop like this one. I know we have a great endo, but it sill makes me want to scream-can’t you do more?! Or, fix this NOW!
We have two little kids, 5 & 3 and it’s killing both of us when he loses his temper with them or how I can see from his face his lack of enjoyment in everything.
I’ve had my share of health issues, but this is by far the worst since it affects mind and body. Sucks, sucks, sucks.
