It seems that since our first child was born 4 years ago he’s been pretty consistently ‘off’ in some way health-wise.
Almost always having IBS/bowel problems, bad back, debilitating headaches, and a pretty much constant neck/shoulder/base of skull pain. Generally the norm is feeling shit. An odd ‘good day’ is immediately followed by another day of headaches/neck pain, escalating digestive problems etc.
We’ve been out this evening and got some nice family photos and looking back at them he doesn’t look great at all. Just grey in the face.
No weight loss. Cleared on the bowel issues via colposcopy (sp?). General blood tests fine. Part of me wonders if he has depression, he insists not, but sometimes will say he thinks some of the symptoms could be stress related. He has seen a physio, chiropractor and had acupuncture with limited success.
He is being a man about it and moaning a lot but also not doing a great deal proactively to address the issues. It’s really starting to both drag the family down and worry me quite a lot. Does it sound like I am right to be concerned?? He gets snappy if I push him about it and insists I am wrong and to stop Google/armchair diagnosing him with things.
I know he is an adult and is responsible for himself and needs to make his own decisions, but any suggestions, advice on how I can be most helpful to move us out of this would be greatly appreciated. I keep feeling like I’m going to burst into tears.
