Sherri/ RA flare & spouses

[Guest guest]

Sherri,

first of all i am sorry I didn't get to this email sooner. I am so sorry

your having such a bad time with your pain levels. Hopefully now that this

has reached you a few days later then posted I am hoping that your pain has

subsided some.

I am really upset to hear that your husband hasnt been the most supportive.

I can argue both sides a little just cause men are known as babies LOL. My

husband has had to help me empty a bedpan/portable toilet thing when i first

got hurt and I hated asking him or letting him. Sometimes h'd put up a

little fit but eventually do it for me. Alot of spouses cant deal with the

fact we are in so much pain an need them so much and depend on them.

Honestly some spouses can be downright jerks and i have heard some stories

that would really P you off. Ive wanted to call a few of these men myself

and say what is your damn problem she needs you.

Please know im here to talk to hun and i really hope that things get better

between you both and he can be more understanding of your pain.

Lets be honest here....if either of our hubby's or fathers, brothers ect had

the type of pain we suffer from theyd be in the hospital ' screamin

jesus.' ( i say that to my husband and i dont know where i picked up that

saying but it would describe them...in a hospital bed screaming LOL)

Know im here hun!!!
