Hi. We are in the in between stage, so all the fear and no help yet at all. Waiting for the full diagnosis and treatment plan. Maybe next week, or the week after.
Husband...opposed to self help self diagnosis. I’m reading about management of symptoms etc , because I want to understand what I can do to help, what I have to face at second hand, .and also.because in the mean time, H is very very unwell. As no official treatment plan yet in place, he has.no help for these uncomfortable distressing symptoms. He detests talking to me about this and leaves the room if I start to ask.
He has bad infection and grim cough which triggered the diagnosis. He can’t sleep, can’t sit, complaining of bad pains in his hips, back and shoulders. Too tired to go for a walk. Baths help a bit.
I guess there is no point trying to see GP as we don’t have the detailed diagnosis but in the meantime what can I do ? it’s especially difficult that he doesn’t want to engage with me about this. It’s similar to the ostrich like refusal to go to the doctor about all this earlier. It took a big row to get him to see GP in first place. He detests help and won’t take advice.
Any ideas ?
