Jen,

I don't care what the ultrasound said, it can't be good for you. Anyhow, as for his GP have you thought about changing his GP? I know this can greatly increase his anxiety but all giving your husband lots of meds is doing is enabling him to wallow in his PTSD. If I remember correctly you are in Townsville, Dr Ian Fraser is a good GP with a great understanding of PTSD. He is on Bamford Lane in Kirwan. Even if you make an appt yourself and just go and talk to him without your husband. The good thing is he doesn't take any bs from those with PTSD and calls it how he sees it.

The body is resilient, no doubt but it can only take so much. I watched my step-father and his gradual decline into alcoholism. From all of that toxin he has limited long and short term memory (essentially brain damage), cirroshis of the liver and has to use a cane to walk. Whichever way you look at it, it is poison. Sure he may need some of those meds but not all nine.

Sorry, I know that you have enough on your plate but it will only get worse if his body shuts down from this abuse. You probably also feel like your continuing to baby him but thats kind of how I had to do just to get Anthony past the first few hurdles. I stand by my boot up the ass, he needs it! If you can't talk to him what about one of his mates or one your children? Big hugs to you.
