To be fed up with DH's anger

DH diagnosed with narcolepsy, he needs medication to stay awake and will do (in increasing doses) for the rest of his life. We've been together 7 years.

He has to experiment with dosages and is always tired. This makes him miserable and often angry. Seems the anger generates enough adrenaline to keep him awake. But it's very trying to be around.

Examples include f'ing and blinding at other drivers, video games and inanimate objects. He's usually not angry at me but expressing what I consider unreasonable anger in my presence.

When he's well rested and his medication is working he's great to be around. I really don't know if he is using the narcolepsy as an excuse for bad behaviour. He did once admit to using 'tiredness' to get out of housework.

AIBU to be getting fed up with it?

You're not being unreasonable and there is only so much you can take. His excuses can only take him so far. His condition does NOT mean you have to subject yourself to a life of abuse and misery.
