Please forgive the long story- i really need help about if i should worry, or if i should ask her.
I'm 43, and 3 years ago remarried (she's now 38). When we got together she told me she had MS and i'd seen her have bad days- mostly it was with hand control/dropping objects and some memory issues.
Almost 2 years ago, we had a baby. She had told me that MS typically goes into remission during pregnancy, and that seems to have been true for her.
She's still nursing the baby at 20months of age (wants to ween at 2yrs). The past 2 months have seen a huge stress increase for my wife- her mother's health is in question-possibly life threatening, waiting on tests, no answers-the whole big stress deal that drags on and on.
Also my wife went to Dr. and found high Blood Pressure-She's overweight and all that, but he was a real *******-told her she probably had enlarged heart (no tests done- he just looked at her), and said was gonna stroke out or have heart attack any time, tried showing off infront of student Doctors, and really gave her the hard core treatment. She was a wreck.
Since all this has happened, Shes' gotten a cold with ear infection, but after a week of that as the cold left her, she's feeling week/feeble, dizzy/out of it, and very tired in middle of day for no reason, also feeling electric shocks from head down through left shoulder into sternum area-shocks that actually give her a jolt/spasm.
She's got a new Doctor that isn't an ***. I dont think she told him about her MS. He states that the chest pains/dizzyness are symptomatic of the ear infection and how she is crouching while nursing (the previous jerk doctor just told her she was probably having multiple heart attacks a day-wow).
My question is: could these stressors have relapsed her MS to give her the fatigue and electric shocks? How do i broach the subject with her to ask- she's not fully gotten over how the MS was affecting her career as a scientist (dropping items) -basically i think she's still in the anger phase of acceptance. She doesn't like to talk about it. Thanks, rick
