I could probably write a book on this topic. This disease is not the only cause of my divorce after 20 years, but it sure has helped. After trips to the doctor and hospital, my husband - soon to ex- keeps accusing me of being a pill popper and drug addict. He think I make this pain up.
If he could spend a day in the pain I am in, he would die. My only advice is to talk to other doctors and friends that truly unerstand.
Don't give up!

I really understand what you are going through. Try to concentrate on things that bring you joy. Your husband is losing a strong woman. I am sorry for what is going on but I believe you will come through this stronger both inside & out. TN is terrible for anyone to have to live with. Those that do need those around them to be supportive. I know you will find support here!
Lorie, I'm so sorry to hear that TN was a factor in splitting up your marriage. Divorce and TN are each their own nightmare, so I can't imagine how horrendous the combo pack must be. I'm especially sorry to learn that your ex is being so hurtful and making false accusations. I do think that it's easier for some people to get mad at the other person and blame them rather than taking a look at their own behavior, trying to figure out what they could have done better and making amends.
You will find your way through this, I know it. I just wish it didn't have to be so difficult.
Take care,
Chris
Thanks - It has been a rough time, but I think I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am on vacation at our timeshare with my boys in Florida without my ex and having a blast. I feel so good not to be around him and the boys and I have some good bonding time.
Thank you again for your support.
Be well
Lorie
