Just to butt in one more time, it's worth remembering how much pressure women tend to feel under in our culture to be the perfect bride on the perfect wedding day. Even women with successful careers or feminist opinions have had this thrown at them ever since they were little girls, in a way that we guys haven't.

Your brain is more important than her 'Special Day' but the Special Day is still very important and she will likely be feeling a lot of anxiety and pressure as it approaches. This may well explain a lot of the problems she seems to be having understanding you.

Just a quick update. I started to feel a lot better the week before my wedding. I didn't have the constant headaches and was able to go without taking any pain relievers. We went through with the wedding and it was great. I did have some issues when I couldn't tolerate the music in the limo bus and had to get off the dance floor periodically to go to a quite area. I crashed a little bit the next day due to all the stimulation but was ok the next day.

We went on our honeymoon to New Zealand and it went very smooth. Flying was ok for me thanks largely due to the Boise Noise Cancelling headphones I bought. I don't think I could've tolerated it otherwise as I would've gotten massive headaches. I periodically got some really bad migraines partly due to driving on the windy roads but I was able to manage and had an amazing trip.

I feel better than when I posted last but still don't feel 100%. I wouldn't say I'm depressed but I just feel "flatter" that I used to. I did an assessment for vestibular deficiency or something by a physical therapist and I had some trouble with my balance with eyes closed and I have more difficulty looking left. I plan on doing therapy and seeing if that helps.

My wife still doesn't completely understand what I'm going through and wants desperately to think I'm back to normal. I know this poses a problem going forward so will look to take her to one of my next Dr. appointment.

Congratulations! I am happy to hear that your wedding went well! I hope that you can get some help with the PT and balance issues. And bringing your wife is a good idea, sometimes people don't believe it until a doctor says it.
Best wishes.

That's great news that the wedding didn't mess you up too bad.

My boyfriend and/or another family member has always gone with me to all my Dr.'s appt.s - mostly because I can't drive myself to them and I wouldn't have been able to remember what to tell them once I got there or what they said to me for at least the first 15 months or so...

BUT - I agree that it's a good idea to always have her there with you so she has a better understanding of what you're going through.

Will she read something if you send her a link to an informative article online?

I am so happy for you and your husband. I wish you many years of happiness and love.
