My PALS constantly says that I ignore his symptoms or don't believe how bad he is. I am sick and tired of this. All I hear from him is how bad he feels. Heaven forbid I complain about my neck or the tendonitis in my elbow because he rolls his eyes and changes the subject back to him. I've put up with all his little histrionics for over 30 years. He's a drama queen of epic proportions. Two years ago in October he told me he was so cold he thought he needed to go to the hospital because he thought he was bleeding internally. It was the first cold night of the year and I didn't turn the heat on because it was warm that day. All the aborted summer trips when we were younger because of panic attacks in the backseat of my dad's car. Not a week goes by he doesn't bring up either A) going to the hospital, or B) being unable to move tomorrow. I'm stressed out enough as it is without all this crap being said to me and about me. If it weren't for me he'd have no where to live. If I don't take him to his doctors, no one else will. I'm tired of being bombarded 24/7 with his doom and gloom attitude. Like I said in an earlier post, ALS owns him. I pray he gets to see someone from Johns Hopkins soon. I pray they tell us all this is due to his neck problems and it can be reversed. I don't want him or anybody else to have ALS. I'm not looking forward to what may be the future. I've already buried my parents. I don't want to bury him anytime soon. I'm just tired of him thinking I don't care. I started to cry in the doctor's office when they told us it was ALS. I'm the one who discovered and told him about this forum. I'm sorry about going on like this but it seems no one cares how I feel. Maybe I'm the one with the problem.
