Last night, my husband and I got into a HUGE fight and it came out it was because of my ms and because I'm on disability. I have extreme weakness and pain......still and was diagnosed in October/2011. I'm still fighting multiple relapses since my diagnosis and I'm already getting a wheelchair due to my weakened state. I try to do what I can, but even just cleaning the bathroom counters, mirror, sweeping put me in bed all day in an extreme pseudo exacerbation.
He told me last night that I'm going to my Nuero too much and we can't afford it ($30) a visit every 1.5 months until we get this under control. I've had 3 or 4 more active lesions since my diagnosis. I've been fighting back tears when around people and crying all night when he goes to sleep.
I've also had bowel issues and have been constipated for 6 months having to have an enema once a week. I finally caved and to make matters worse, my gastro doc is very concerned and scheduled an upper and lower GI for this Wednesday and now I feel like I shouldn't do that even though colon cancer runs in my family. He is making me feel like I'm a nuisance due to my medical problems and this sounds horrible, but I almost hoped last night it was colon cancer so I could go in peace.
What should I do? Is this just an unsupportive man or him adjusting to my illness? I'm at my wits end. There have always been snide remarks, but nothing as mean as last night! He even yelled at me for choosing the wheelchair I chose because it wasn't what his father (who is paraplegic) would have chosen. Please help.
