To expect DH to help pay for my diagnosis?

[Miserablelittlesoul]

I have numerous health conditions but the one that is affecting my life the most is (suspected endometriosis). I’ve had symptoms since I was young but never put 2 and 2 together not that I was aware of the condition anyway.

These past 6 months have been intense and I have pretty much lost my mobility. I’m no longer working anymore and I’ve been denied pip so I have no money coming in at all. We have maxed all the benefits we are entitled too.

We have spent all our savings now. All we have is our pokemon collection that is worth around 20k but we plan to hold on to this as the value keeps increasing.

DH has a 0% credit card with £15k on. He doesn’t want to use it and feels that it’s for emergencies only.

My life is so miserable I do nothing now I stay in the house everyday. I have about 10 good pain free days a month. I’m sad all the time! The house is always a mess and food shopping isn’t being done properly. So when it comes to dinner times it’s a distaster.

DH tries his best with everything but it doesn’t work I need my health back.

AIBU to think this is an emergency? I completely understand why he doesn’t want to. But I can’t wait 8 years for a diagnosis and treatment.

I think he should help as it would improve the quality of ur life and get u back to work. As for pip it defo sounds like u should be entitled. Use a company or cab , appeal or apply again. My cousin has that condition and the NHS have not helped so she is niw going private

I know probably not what you are asking but I have found birth control specifically helpful for Endo, for me the depo-provera has absolutely changed my life. It may be worth considering if you havent already done so

I wouldn’t say lucky, there’s a significant amount which is why it’s been picked up.

Same for me. I also had a significant amount. But ultrasound was not conclusive. Key hole surgery was not an option and I had to have a mesh put in. But it still took 13 years to diagnose it. By lucky I meant the speed not the pain and everything that comes with it.
