MY fiance and I are arguing all the time.
He says that since he had to wait 3 years waiting for carpal tunnel to be diagnosed and surgically repaired that he knows exactly what I'm feeling and that I just need to "deal" with it. And not to "put on a face"? I guess I look like I'm in pain........I tried telling him he doesn't know exactly what I'm feeling or how much I can handle because he's not me. I just don't think he gets the level that CRPS goes to. I did give him info on CRPS he doesn't think I have a "syndrome". I told him 2 different doctors agree with the diagnosis. With him I seriously don't know what to do. He has pain issues as well ie herniated C6 & C7 in lower neck. And I still do things, however slowly,like try to clean as best I can. I even dish up his dinner and bring it to him. It's hard to lift or carry anything w/o pain though. And he literally said today He's worried because and I quote "What if something bad happened to me, how could you take care of me?" He also said I need to learn how to deal with this with no medication.... ......I don't see how this is going to last with that kind of thinking. I tried explaining if I try to have -0- medication I would end up crying most of the time. He still just said you just have to "cope" with it.....and kept turning it to HIS needs.I'm at a loss of what I can do there. I just don't understand what else I can do. Or how to make him see, I have actually said the words "I need you right now, even just to hold me" And he just said "I don't want to lay down right now" and went back to playing a video game.......which I actually calculated he plays between 35-50 hours a week. Please ANY help would be appreciated... |
