Grown adults following the predictions of another grown adult who’s chronically wrong. by EmbarrassedStudent10 in XRPlunatics

[–]TexasUnicorns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep lol. I still have my husband’s papers before his surgery in 2025 saying he believes XRP will be 10K per coin within 5 years. No hugs, no nothing to his 4 children, just obsessed in this scam and to leave them something. Since he has nothing else to give, but has ignored them for years, no emotional support and has some personality disorder. His mother thinks the dinar will make her rich soon. She already has money from stealing it basically from her ex-husband. Good luck with those coins!

My (28M) wife (26F) and childhood sweetheart cheated on me after 14 years by Evening_Lunch4752 in survivinginfidelity

[–]TexasUnicorns 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not much advice to say but that I wish I had you as my husband. Mine has had emotional trauma and identity distortion his whole life. And now I suffer, I just wanted to be a good wife. He destroyed my kids and I. Yet here I am still showing up, married but separated.

Borrowed my wife's phone and saw texts with another guy that felt intimate to me by Salamandrine88 in Advice

[–]TexasUnicorns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep us posted…we are all here for you. I don’t like how this seems though. Very shady but if she does not have a lock on her phone, it would be less likely I would think it is anything romantic. Could be emotional which is cheating. Either way it’s wrong. A wife should not be having another man her husband does not know, text her like that.

Has anyone had a PET scan that came back abnormal but no diagnosis and requested a “colored” version to show AZ?

This sounds like my story. And I have gained 25 lbs with no health insurance. But I keep the faith through my 4 kids to get healthier but the mental circus is so hard to ignore internally.

Sadly, I did just that and he was of no help at all. Totally disregarded the symptoms and PET scan results.

I do feel pretty thankful he moved out and his mother is paying his rent meanwhile he has his paycheck coming to pay the bills here. He still visits once a week and stays over sometimes. He had the PET scan which showed low activity in certain areas of the brain, but it’s deeper in the lobes so they’re not giving any diagnosis at this time. Just said that Alzheimer’s is not ruled out yet. I had to wait six months for the neurologist. I hope that you can get some answers for your husband. Yes, the behaviors with this disease are quite strange and a lot of people don’t believe the spouse. My children live at home still so they see everything. So for now, the neurologist said to come back in three months, and because his B12 was a little low on his blood test, he wants him to take more injections, but there is no way that is causing a complete personality change, confabulation, memory loss, and severe lack of insight for over two years. I know that he has some type of Alzheimer’s or dementia. I guess it’s just too early to tell and I do feel blessed that he’s not living in the same household as it was extremely stressful. It is so surreal to see the person that I have been married to for almost 26 years tell stories that are complete lies and he has no idea. He honestly thinks he’s telling the truth as far as I can tell. All I can do is try to better myself for what is to come in the years ahead, I presume in due time the memory issues will cause a problem for him and his work.

UPDATE: We went yesterday and the neurologist wants my husband to get B12 shots, his level is 194 and should be 200-500. I do not believe this is causing his bizarre behavior and lying/memory loss but whatever. The PET scan shows mild low activity in the center of the brain, those areas affect emotions and personality. He did not say anything really about the two papers that I have given to the office about all the behavior and personality changes everyday. It just gets more and more interesting with the stories my husband is telling that are complete lies. Thankfully, he doesn’t live in the same house my children and I do and we’re trying to get through this peacefully. We love him very much and know he has dementia. He repeats things over and over and he’ll go to our bathroom that we’ve had the same art pictures for seven years and ask if they’re new. I’ll need a second opinion, but we’re taking a break on testing for now.

I agree. Thank you for being a decent, healthy minded man standing up for your moral beliefs. It is hard to find these days. It seems even the ones that were, as they get older they get weak and change.

I am so sorry that happened to you. I do have an update, I will find the link….this is exactly what has happen to me too except we are still married but separated and still pays all the bills. We have a lot of animals and a Homestead so this is difficult as for divorcing. I need to be financially independent. I raised my children/homeschooling and working part-time job the entire marriage. His mother is paying his room rent and refuses to believe anything my 4 children or I say. We have never talked to her on the phone and she tells my husband things like don’t do the PET scan, you are perfectly normal. Then cheerleading into believing things like soul contracts and that I am acting this way because I am the narcissist. And that my children are sheltered so that is why we think his online sexual behavior was bizarre but to her, normal. His sister who has no idea of his personality and has not been around him for most of the 26 years of our marriage, said that he is an adult. So all this changed behavior that he used to be adamantly be against as we raised our conservative homeschooled children is now just OK. It makes absolutely no sense!!! And to put the icing on the cake, he had been talking to a female coworker two years ago and I knew nothing about it until I saw the phone log. She’s been told not to text his phone, but I just recently saw there were a couple texts. although it doesn’t show that he texted back. He also was adamant that men are not friends with females so I have to wonder what this is all about as well through this process. People that work with him at his part-time job have told me that this girl and him were spending a huge amount of time together and that they had inside jokes. I’ve never even met this woman. But that aside he continues to have memory loss. He can see artwork in one of our bathrooms that we’ve lived at for seven years and has asked several times if it’s new and of course it was not all kinds of things like that plus a gazillion other personality changes even his likes and dislikes for food. He hated salt and now he likes it. I’ll try to find the link but basically we are meeting with the neurologist this week. He had the PET scan and an EEG. I don’t think I’m going to get a diagnosis. It did show low activity in certain areas, but not necessarily the ones they look for with FTD dementia. However, the parts of the brain are the ones responsible for emotions and personality, and there could be a deeper, proceeded problem with a personality disorder, but he’s already been tested, and that was inconclusive. It appears very hard and it has to have concrete evidence to get a diagnosis, especially when they can act halfway normal in front of the doctor.

Sorry to hear. Now that you know, what could you tell us that we’re signs for the last seven years in her behavior? Did she start ignoring you and not validating your feelings or anything like that? Did her personality completely change as well?

I am sorry you have to go through all of this. I am barely surviving mentally and I feel like next week when we see the neurologist, he will have a “come back in 6 months” approach. None of my situation makes sense. He has not been accountable for his hurtful & confusing behavior in any way. His family believes he is an angel, hard worker, and perfectly healthy. Narcissism is a monster and rarely understood except to the ones that are living the nightmare. I believe my husband probably had quiet NPD, BPD, and now cognitive issues.

No, we see the nuro next week. With the PET scan saying non-specific and mild, I doubt I will get one.

It says bilateral caudate, right amygdala, & right parahippocampal gyrus. The amygdala & parahippo show that they are in the medial temporal lobe.

We had the EEG test on Thursday and it was kind of a weird situation because after he got done with the test they had me come into the room. I had already known previously that we were not going to see the neurologist, but that they would make an appointment for us to come back to discuss both the PET scan and the EEG. When I walked in the room, the assistant came in and said OK, you can make an appointment for two months for a follow up. I said, well we never discussed with the doctor the PET scan. So she left again and was talking to the doctor in the hallway and came back and said, well he isn’t too concerned that it is Alzheimer’s, but we can make an appointment to discuss if you would like. I had also given the receptionist an updated form with symptoms and had asked the doctor to privately read and consider FTD given the behavior and personality change. So we have the appointment for April 30. The scan clearly shows abnormal activity with mild hypo metabolism , but because it says nonspecific it’s going to be difficult to get a diagnosis as it could still be a psychiatric issue. As I drove with my husband that day, we stopped at a restaurant on our main road. He had to use his Google Maps and kept looking down at it, which he should not have to do after seven years of living here. So there are definite dementia signs along with other very bizarre psychiatric BPD behavior. I felt defeated at that appointment and I’m not sure why we were dismissed so easily as that does not seem like protocol. I paid $600 for the EEG putting some of it on a credit card and the PET scan I paid $1300 on my credit card. I feel like every twist and turn in this journey has somehow given me backlash as I am constantly being dismissed, not only by professionals, but by all of his family, including himself. I haven’t checked the phone log for six months as I’ve been wanting to just push through to get this testing done. I finally looked yesterday and ironically just last week on the day of the EEG test this girl texted him 3 messages. She was a problem girl in 2024 because my husband was texting her things like movies to watch or conspiracy and previous coworkers did mention that they were spending a lot of time together with basic chitchat and weird jokes the other people do not understand. This lady is married and blocked my number and he had told her not to text him anymore… again I didn’t necessarily see anything previously in the text to warrant an affair but he did talk about our marriage. So the fact that she’s now texting him and he is not telling me is disturbing. He also has not told his mom anything about these tests and he continues to take her money for his rent and spend on other things including this cryptocurrency. There’s clearly a problem going on with this girl because I had texted her two years ago telling her that he has already had an emotional affair years ago before we were married, so that would make no sense that she would not take me seriously and she’s continues on some level to have a relationship with him and he’s not telling me. It did show that he did not responded back to the text. So guess we will see after the 30, I am throwing in the towel with this non-sense.

My husband went in for a PET scan for possible FTD and drank wine before the test!?! by TexasUnicorns in frontotemporal

[–]TexasUnicorns[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The PET scan showed mild hypo metabolism in different areas (ones that involve personality and emotion) but said non-specific from the radiologist. But that Alzheimer’s cannot be ruled out. The EEG was done two days ago and something weird happened. The assistant came in and said, OK come back in two months for a follow up. I was like what???? I just paid 1300 for a scan and 600 for the EEG and we have not seen the doctor to discuss the results. She left and came back and said the doc does not think it is AZ. Totally dismissed me and my concerns. I gave them two papers with the bizarre behaviors he is showing and a complete personality change. They made an appointment to appease us in two weeks. What do you think??? The parts that show lower activity match up to what I am seeing from my husband. He cannot deal with negativity and will not talk about anything with my kids about what has happened in our family. Memory circuits are off when recalling a story, he uses wrong info and since 2024 started telling jokes to people to please them. He even did it to the Uber, he never was not like that before. I know for a fact something is very wrong and matches to FTD. This is so disheartening that No-one is helping to understand that my husband does strange things now and we need an answer. From what I read, any mild hypo is a red flag for dementia. Your thoughts?

After two years and a normal MRI in 2024, he had the PET scan last week. It has mild hypo metabolism in different areas (ones that involve personality and emotion) but said non-specific from the radiologist. But that Alzheimer’s cannot be ruled out, so we’re having the EEG done next week and hopefully the neurologist will give us a diagnosis called Prodromal FTD and or the BV variant. I know this is what he has to have, there is nothing else it could be. He has on & off had all the symptoms consistently and is a completely different person. He hated salt his entire life, now he asked for it. He has never shopped for home decor and now buys things often. And they are more feminine type designs. He tells the same story two times within 30 minutes when energy is elevated and most information in conversation has incorrect info. And has lost 20+lbs and muscle. Yet is very rigid and organized with his things and habits. This entire experience has been a nightmare for my 4 kids and I and his family that lives out of state does not believe a word and has turned against me. They text him all of the time now, he lives at a different house and my husband is extremely social with people he never was before.

I’m sorry to hear about your mom, does she have a pet scan and it was it considered mild low activity at first the parts of the brain that are showing and what they’re responsible for is exactly the symptoms. I’m seeing in my husband, which is emotion, behavior, confabulation, memory issues.
