prairiewindmomma 33,116 Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 I've decided against this because apparently you can still have the disease without the markers. I think what I've discovered, on my own path, is this: 1. Some doctors don't care what your symptoms are, they only look at test results. This may not be true of your doctors now, but think about the long term. 2. Some issues have genetic predispositions that affect your children. If you have celiac disease, I'd think you'd for sure want all of your children tested....and for them to be aware to have their children tested. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tsuga 19,748 Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Would you be irritated if you went to put your dh’s shirts away and found that he had written on the hangers which shirt goes on which hanger and what order it goes in? Lately I’ve been struggling not to be annoyed at every little thing he does but sheesh. I feel like I’m owed some sort of heads up. I know it’s a bit much to expect, “Hey, I know my OCD makes a lot of extra work for you, thanks for being patien,†but I would appreciate at least, “hey, I want an easier system for myself, so do you mind...†🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦔🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🙠I agree that noting it on paper is probably less kind than he thought it would be. I would say something. "When I just see it written down like an order, instead of hearing it from you, it seems really impersonal, like a job, and not something I do because I love you and care for our family." Or, if you've agreed that you will do the housework so he can go to work without worry so you can homeschool etc. then I'd give him some visibility to the time you have available for laundry and cooking. Then explain that you are happy to do the extra work, but x, y, or z is probably going to fall by the wayside. Maybe something you don't really care about... like cleaning the fridge? :grouphug: 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slache 87,775 Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 I think what I've discovered, on my own path, is this: 1.

Some issues have genetic predispositions that affect your children. If you have celiac disease, I'd think you'd for sure want all of your children tested....and for them to be aware to have their children tested. I agree on both counts. As someone who has been exhausted since she was 21 and describes herself as old for her age I am curious to know if I have it. I have had less energy and more pain than most 60 year olds since my early 20s. I've been told by doctors that if I don't have diarrhea, stomach pain etc. that I don't have celiac and I've only recently learned that that isn't true, mostly due to Jean.

prairiewindmomma 33,116 Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 FWIW, Slache, I think I'd want to have some basic blood work (including inflammation markers) run as well if you have a doctor who is game and insurance that will pay for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Southern Ivy 8,058 Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) Oh, so Dad ripped out his trach again. So, he's back in his "boxing gloves". Now, he's hollering "I don't want to be in this place! See that boy? He is MEAN!" (Mom says the poor CNA is one of the nicest, and that this is expected, but still!) He also just told my mom, "Darling dear, I need to go to work. I just want to work." I think he's incredibly bored and can't make the connection that he CANT work right now. FUN TIMES, y'all! FUN TIMES. Also, I forget to post here sometimes, but my mom always tags me in her daily updates on FB. If you want to keep up that way, just PM me and I'll send you a link to my FB so you can add me. :D Just don't be creepers and stalk me. That could make things awkard on the ITT board!

Jean in Newcastle 175,361 Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 Ok. Bonzo (aka Juliet when she’s at her squirreliest) had the house in an uproar and I desperately needed to get my shower. She hates being in the bathroom with me while I shower even though I bring in toys and chewies. And I can’t trust her to be unsupervised. So I put her out on the deck for twenty minutes. She is now clinging to me like I had abandoned her. I suppose that I could have crated her but she was due a potty break...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Start putting her out there with a puzzle toy while you go inside for a few minutes and then come back out. Gradually increase the length of time. That should help her not to feel like she's being abandoned when she has to go out on her own for a little bit. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know it is waaaaay different when you have a spouse you are dealing with and not a child, but I get it, somewhat. I have to keep telling myself, it’s about him and not how he feels about me.
