Re: Good Morning - a - hypo

[Guest guest]

Thanks - I wish that, too, for both of us. All of us here actually.

My husband just told me that he thinks I am a hypochondriac. It's not that I

haven't known it for a while but he never admitted it before. I have felt

alone in this healing process for a while now and hearing him say it was

devastating. I feel completely lost and alone. Just glad all of you are

here.

Don't fret... I think my wife is a hypochondriac too. I think all

husbands feel that way about thier wives. I do know that my wife

has pretty severe candida issues too, as do you. There were times in

my life where I was either a hypo or psychosomatic too, many years

ago. But I'm beginning to think that many of those episodes were

candida-induced. And that the 75% of doctor's visits in the US of

symptoms that are " in the head " are really candida (or at least bad-

diet) related.

You're not crazy... I'm not crazy... my wife is not crazy. And I

think this diet will help ease a lot of yours (and my wife's) various

anxieties, obssessions, fears, worries, REAL physical symptoms that

doctor's can't figure out, etc.....

I'm heading up to Ohio this weekend to play guitar at a big

megachurch there, and since I'll be staying with friends, I'm not

starting the diet yet. But when we get home, we will take the next

big steps towards that. (Breads and grains).

Of course it will get worse before it gets better for all of us.

You're a pastor's wife... you realize that the enemy won't give up

without a fight. So just keep fighting back.

Hi a,

I know how you feel, my family think I am a hypochondriac too and

maybe even that I am " wasting " my time & money on all the

diet/supplements etc etc...

Just remember how hard it is for people who are not suffering from

this to fully understand the effects it can have on you. I know I

might think this was all made up if I hadn't been effected by it so

much myself.

We know your not crazy! And your definitely not alone. One of the

hardest challenges of candida is that people don't fully

understand/sympathise like they do with more " traditional/common "

illnesses.

But rest assured it's a challenge that you've been dealt in this

life, because God beleives you have the strength to overcome it.

~The best is always yet to come~

a,

How awful a. I think since people with candida often " look "

healthy, others have a hard time understanding how devastating the

symptoms can be internally. I am so sorry that your husband doesn't

understand what you are going through. I can see how that would make

this process that much harder, but hang in there, you are doing the

right thing, even if he doesn't understand it. " )

Thank you all for your support regarding this subject. I feel bad for

posting this information about my husband but I was very emotional last

night - raging hormones and the conversation with him regarding my health

issues. I am glad all of you understand. I have no doubt that these symptoms

are real and not in my head.

Blessings,

a,

I gave this advice to someone else previously.. have your husband READ the

information

at Bee's site. Print it off. Ask him as your husband to read it so that

he may better understand

the issues at hand.

Hi ,

I have given him some information but I am not sure he read it. Which part

in particular would you recommend? There is so much. I printed off the list

of illnesses associated with candida and causes.

Hi a, sorry about your dh--it is hard for others to understand

our symptoms, sigh. I think 2 good files to print are the Curing

Candida, How to Get Started file, and the Candida Basics by Bee, both

of which are located under Bee's Candida Articles & How To Get

Started. Neither is as long as the main article, so maybe he might

read them. I know my dh doesn't feel like reading health articles.

Good luck,

Lora
