Hi,I ve suffering from Labythrinitis for 6 yrs,I was getting better,but had a bad vertigo at teach this year and it's brought the dizziness back this condition has crushed my confidence and I hardly go out.My husband has told me if I don t get better and start living a normal life he is leaving me,we have an 11yr old daughter I am trying so hard to better.I would any advise on how to get over this condition,it's ruined my life.
I am really sorry your husband does not understand nd as for saying he is leaving you. Well!!!!! Has he not read anything on line about this condition? In suggest you go on line yourself and print some off and make him read it!
Hi Gill ,good answer .Print stuff off make him read it ,could be him tomorrow .Who the hell wants this condition ,he wouldn't ,no more than we do .why put more pressure on someone ,beggars belief some people and the attitude they have .How many of us with this condition just go to bed NORMAL ,and next morning wake up like this . Happening to people every day ,maybe him in near future hey ,never say never I say these days ,because it can and does .were living proof it happens .xx
sorry to hear your husband has this attitude. He sounds like a real catch. Could you take him with you to your GP with you who might be able to help him understand that you don't have any control over this condtion and that it affects every aspect of your life. Perhaps then he could understand that you really struggling and also ask your GP to refer you again to ENT or whoever is best placed to help you with this reoccurance.
Thanks Gillian,Marlene and Anne,he s been with me to all my appointments so he should have an understanding by now,we ve been together 15 yrs.He just keeps saying I need to be stronger,but as you all know we are strong,if we were not we wouldn't t be out of bed!! I need get the anxiety under control,but all the doctors want to do is put me on anti depressants,but I m not depressed,and I did try one AD and I it lmade me feel like a zombie,and the withdrawl was really bad,I still can t sleep properly because of it.my anxiety comes because I feel so off balance.He just won t listen,I ve got a couple of months to show some improvement.thanks to you all for your support xxx
HI, going with you to,the appointments teaches him nothing. You need to go onto the VEDA website as they have good comprehensive stuff on there, find the pages that apply to,you is the symptoms and print them out and shove them under his nose, sorry to be so frank, but this makes me really angry when Those that supposed to,love us take this ridiculous stance! and you can tell him to e mail me, and Marlene and Anne (?presume you okay with that girls? ) nd we will tell him axact,y what it,s like and being strong is only half of it!!!
First Happy New Year Anne .
I'd frog march him to Drs ,let him hear how disabling this condition is ,some just don't get it ,like they don't want to hear how bad this is ,it's not a catching condition ,she would be there for him ,he wants to think bit more forward ,things happen to men ,like men's troubles,that would keep them housebound a fair bit .Cancers and the rest .Could end up lonely old man dealing alone with those health issues if they came along ,no ones immune to life's ailments that come out of the thin air .it can and does happen ,he wants a reality check ,not to stress Fudgy out more by his uncaring comments .
Aw you have both made me giggle at your comments,I will have a look at the Veda site and see if he ll take any notice.i would be there for him if he was poorly,he's bloody lucky I ve stayed with him this long the tricks he's played in the past but that's another story lol.You re right I could do without the extra pressure,It would be more helpful if he helped and supported me,But it's never going to happen so I need to not get down about it and help myself.thanks again Ladies xxx
Stay strong, hang in there
We can't make things better ,but come here and vent ,were hear to listen if nothing else ,I'd give him couple months alright .Down right selfish attitude he has alright ,as he's heard what's said so even more so .Karma real Big believer in thAt ,got habit of just biting selfish ones out there when least expecting it .Wants to take cotton wool out of his ears .
Think Drs put you on those meds as they've got no answer to giving you to solving it ,they don't suit me ,try some Bach's Rescue ,and B 6 if your okay with the B6 and don't upset stomach .Youve not had good start to New Year by any means ,that's truly sad .XX
Happy New Year to you too Marlene and everyone. Keep on keeping on and remember to take deep breaths.
Maybe he needs a fair few reminders to his short comings .Some don't deserve good women ,you need to take care of you and your girl period ,don't worry what's floating around in his pea brain .why should you ? Ask yourself that .Giggle away girl .xx
Hi there
I know how you feel, got the same it started last September going for an M R I scan next week I hate being like this being stuck in can't do much
My daughter did get very angry with me not being well, as she is 18 years old, but she does understand now, it takes over your life waiting for new meds to help me.
I'm up for this Right Charlie as we say here in UK .Maybe if Fudgy had human contact with another with this ,it may just sink in ,it's a condition one can't just switch off .bloody heck we wouldn't be hear talking about it that's for sure ,Fudgy could be off out spending money ,that would most probably wouldn't suit him either .When he complains of ache or pain ,me I'd ignore the little toe rag .certainly no mothering forth comeing .Never met him but I don't like him .
Deep breathing about only good thing we can do Anne ,and say I can do this ,get a Mantra going daily ,that helps .Theres said saying HU over and over helps ,there's a video on You tube with it got this from someone somewhere .Hope you get in better week at work ,one week nearer to retirement as they pass Anne .xx
Glad your girl see it for what it is Shar .Hard to explain this unless you have it ,but it can be done ,I explain it like this ,we've all been on a roundabout at some given time ,then that feeling getting off ,but that feeling never stops for us .Now that people should be able to get ,if not get them in local park and try them on roundabout ,then ask if they could cope .No would have to come back at ya .Fudge maybe should try that on her old man .Just a passing thought .id spin that so fast his head would come off ,hey Karma Satisfied
There are so many of us with the same thing, but finding help out there is hard
It's just me and my daughter now he left
Me, I have more bad days then good days
What about you.
Shar123
Yep, sent off my application to retire, won't have much pension wise, as fool that i am, didn't always pay into it, so will still need to work if i can but do less hours.
I m sorry you are suffering aswell,i m pleased your daughter understands now,can I ask what medication you taking x
That's a really good explanation of the feeling Marlene,I d love spin him around so fast it would make his head hurt lol.i to believe in karma !!! I ve gone from feeling hurt to feeling mad xx
