Doydie, I feel for you...kind of reminds me of when we were first married and he "had" to sleep with his arm around me..I used to get so sick of it that I imagined my breath being squeezed out of me...like give me my space man...now, I would love to have those days back...hhhhmmmmm...oh well.

The Sleeper, I tried the straightforward approach, I confronted the jerk face to face after I got home from my first neurology appointment. He swore to me that he did nothing wrong...if he did nothing wrong then why act so weird lately, like deciding to go "buy" me a new to me SUV the night I spoke to the husband on the other side of this fiasco...made me change my cell number. Told me the man was nuts...I have never had to worry about my husband before...it's weird and almost foreign to me. He is shy and withdrawn in public, doesn't like to eat out, no movies, no malls, stay at home kind of a guy with a hot temper most days. Get him on face book and he gets this crap started...my poor kids, they have been thru hell in the last month as have I.

I am so very thankful that the extreme pain has abated for the moment...if I was in agony and this started I may have not reacted so well...I might have needed the nut house to come and take me away. I have anklosing spondylitis (fusing of the spine) which is painful and stiff...but it was not generating the majority of my pain..My primary doc asked me when I was going to dump the reason for my health issues...namely my husband..lol..its funny but not funny cause I have two kids to think of...I am also cuttoff from my family because we live over 200 miles from them which makes leaving difficult even though I did leave him for a couple of days the first time this mess started. I didn't find out the why to the first big fight until I came back...by then my oldest had missed too much school cause he suffers with health issues already and stress from a jerk for a dad.

He is one of those jerks that is NEVER wrong and NEVER apologizes and is always perfect...so he thinks...I was thinking boy does she know what she is messing with?? He is no prince charming...

An update on my MS Sx's...I am going in to have a spinal tap done in three weeks..my nuero told me that it was either wait for a year and do another MRI or get the LP done. I choose the LP, I want to fight this head on since I have suffered with many sx's for years. Guess prince charming will have to take a bit of time out for me...he is already grousing about it...says "I guess I have to take a day off work for that" sarcastically...I said yeah...and I can't lift anything heavy or get too upset when I come home...jerk jerk jerk I am muttering after this conversation..So I will update the outcome when I know something.

Jodylee, send me a private message, I would love some insight.
