Unsupportive partner, spouse, family

[Guest guest]

I was wondering if anyone else had a terrible time being hypothyroid and not

getting any understanding from supposed loved ones. I have a husband who is

pretty lame but really bothers me when it comes to a total lack of interest or

concern for my health. From day one he saw me pop my thyroid meds and never

asked what they were or anything. I finally had to ask him if he wondered why

his wife took medication or what the medication was. Sad right?! Years later,

when ever I have a change in levels (pregnancy, stress what have you) he jumps

all over me for the depression, energy issues, dry skin, etc. He points out my

faults as if I made some choice to be defective if you will. He never listens

to the hypothyroid hell stories I have to live with. He just seems to refuse to

see me as someone with a disease. A manageable disease but still a disease. I

often wonder if he isn't the sick one!

My mom is my only other relative and she is in some kind of denial about my

need for thyroid meds. What a support system. So how is yours? Good, bad,

room for improvement?
