Notices

Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now.

Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year.

Evie has cold sweats. Been cold for a few days even though it's warm here. Just as you describe Jen. However. She is ill with other things. So. Difficult to determine the cause. Hope your husband is all right.

Jim.

Hi Jen

Just another thought. I have a doctor as a client and I often walk around freezing with 2 jumpers on when everyone else is in short sleved tops and he told me to have my thyroid tested.

Worth a shot I guess????????

Thanks Nicolette he had a blood test yesterday with results back on Friday when we see the specialist they may show something.
He has just found out his Dad has become very ill so thats not going to help.
He will probably fly down to Brisbane on the weekend to see him.

Whatever it is Jen, I do hope it is nothing serious. Please keep us informed.

Hi
Well hubbys Dad isnt as serious as first thought. Poor bugger was in hospital after a fall and was in bed all the time and being a proud and very stubborn man did not want help to go to toilet. They are very shortstaffed and with him putting off going to the toilet complications had set in but with a procedure getting done this afternoon he should improve poor old bugger!
As for Hubby the doc said that his cold sweats have nothing to do with diabeties and has sent him for another blood test but the last one showed nothing.
I am starting to wonder if it is his PTSD as Anthony would say his cup is full actually overflowing?
Jen

Oh my I can relate to the old folks not wanting assistance to the toilet... my mother-in-law was the very same. A strong and proud woman. It was exceedingly difficult for her to accept any help, especially of that nature.

The cold sweats could still be influenza I assume, as that often does not show up on blood tests. Or as you say Jen, his PTSD cup overflowing. If it is the latter, all you can do really is give him space to rest and recouperate. That's what we strive to do with Evie.

Oh yes Kathy I would love to give him some space lets say over the other side of Australia!!
It seems to be mainly at work that he is horrible to me and very edgy? I said to him last night that because I am feeling better he can stay at home more often as he really has trouble getting out of bed that gets on my nerves and by the time he gets to work I am getting edgy because of the fact I know he is home in bed? Does this make sense?

Hi Jen

If I am reading what you wrote correctly, it sounds like you are perhaps feeling a little resentful that Hubby is staying in bed yet you still have to get up and go to work.

I often have to get up at 5am in the morning and get a lot less sleep than Anthony and some times when I'm tired and crabby I feel a little ripped off about it. I then try and remind myself that in comparison to what he must have to deal with in his head every day my life is pretty good even if it is a few hours less sleep. More importantly to me is that I am at least grateful that he is there an in our bed so once again, if that is the worst I have to put up with then life isn't that bad.

At the same time I think it is also important to note that if Anthony was just being a lazy bum and playing me for a fool by staying in bed I would not be accepting of it.
