Hi Serenity, I have been through very similar problems with my husband, but I finally got sick of the lying and mental abuse and made him leave. That was a year ago and my life has drastically...
Hi Pasey, I just wanted to suggest that there may be a clinic to go to if you have no insurance, so that you can have tests done and possibly rx written to help you. You can also contact the...
If your husband has always had a tendency to be this way, the disease may be making it worse, but he also may have a chemical imbalance issue. Definately talk to his doctor about this and think about...
Lee, my husband was on oxycodone, also, for severe back pain. He has hep b w/ cirrhosis. He was told that oxy, an opium nasal spray, and morphine pain patches were the only thing that he should take...

shven, one suggestion is,,,,,,,eventually you mom will need a break from caring for your dad, even if she doesnt realize it, so watch for signs that she needs a break, and give it to her, even if...
The fastest way to get medical , at least for my soon-to-be ex was to go through state disability, it only took 4 mths, but I had to push the state representatives office for final approval. I am not...

When my husband had a bypass, they gave him a platelet transfusion because his was too low, not sure if this will help but might be worth asking about....

Eileen, my husband had that problem, but I cannot for the life of me remember what the dr did to help him........her specialist should be able to do something for her so that she doesnt have to quit...
