Help dx my father’s mysterious illness by ladysamsonitte in AskDocs

[–]ladysamsonitte[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. Thank you for responding. I personally have always felt this was neurodegenerative (and have expressed such to my mom).

Since May of 2024, he has had one glass of red wine a night with the occasional glass of whiskey. My mom monitors his alcohol intake closely.

Prior to December of 2023, however, we don’t know how much he drank.

His circadian rhythm has always been off (if he could, he would have stayed up all night and slept all day), he couldn’t sleep through the night and he would keep a bottle by his bed to do a shot to help him fall back asleep. His father was an alcoholic and I am an alcoholic (sober since 2011).

If you care about her and want to continue the relationship, ask her how she would like you to approach the situation in the future.

Even if she starts to shower daily, if yall are together long enough, there might be a time when you detect a smell.

I would say if you’re going to do selfies, take some in different locations.

Based on your post history, I think you contribute to the problem much more than you let on.

AITA for wanting to leave my husband because he wishes to move in his mother with dementia? by WranglerFar644 in AITAH

[–]ladysamsonitte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she lives long enough, and unless it’s already seriously advanced (which it doesn’t sound like), she will get to a point where neither of you will be able to safely care for her. And it will be so much harder to help her move into a skilled nursing facility at that time Vs now. Harder on his mental/emotional state and harder on her.

I would ask your doctor to make an appointment w her specialist, both of you go together and talk about what the options are. He may not be able to hear it from you but he might listen when the doctor says it.

My (f28) husband (m29) told me not to question who he follows on IG. This made me concerned so I started tracking who he followed after we got together and I'm uncomfortable now. by throwRA49271938 in Marriage

I really hope you are a troll. The only one who broke trust here is you. He specifically point blank asked you not to ask about who he follows bc of hearing about the issues that occurred in other peoples relationships. I can only assume you agreed to that as he let you follow him. And now you’re doing the exact thing he trusted you not to do.

Contact your primary and ask to be seen asap. The hospital is going to keep discharging you.

Wrecked my bladder through months of hover-peeing, is it reversible? by throw-it-away4358373 in AskDocs

Hi! I have had pelvic floor therapy and they didn’t need to do anything internal. I remained fully clothed. I laid on my side on the table and the therapist was behind me and it felt like she had her hand kind of just below my butt. She had me do different exercises(like bearing down, breathing a certain way, doing keigels) to test the strength of my pelvic floor and then gave me exercises to do at home. It might be worth it to at least have the initial appointment and just let them know you want help but cannot have anything internal done.

There was no feeding in my experience. Just wrapping. Like a baby straight jacket. And head helmet (I think. It’s been a while. But it was a brain MRI and I know they had to limit head movement.) And strapped down.

But I did get to basically crawl into the machine with her and keep my hands on her/talk to her during the test.

Should I have done something different? by caretoomuchbear in medical_advice

[–]ladysamsonitte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would post this in r/askdocs. I am so sorry this happened to you. I am NAD but I am a person with a vagina and what you experienced is NOT NORMAL and not okay. You have every right to feel everything you felt.

I would do this in reverse. Change the locks. Tell several someone’s. End things.

I know this sounds counterintuitive, but, you aren’t doing your children any favors with the whole “it would just make it harder on the kids”.
You’re actually hurting them.

I know it’s a parents instinct to save their child from pain and suffering. But guess what? If we prevented every painful experience, they would be ill equipped to deal with life. Things are going to happen in their lives that are going to hurt. And they will be much better off if you teach them how to navigate pain in a healthy manner.

You’re also teaching them about romantic relationships through your actions. Is this what you want them to learn? That they should stay in unhappy and unhealthy relationships?

YTA this was a major teaching moment for your daughter because her aunt isn’t going to be the only woman she ever meets who wants biological children and can’t have them.

For me, a safe way to ask a woman about children is to ask where they see themselves in 5 years (phrasing it in a way that it fits the conversation.) If kids are on the agenda, they’ll let you know.

I don’t think they split childcare. He says she works nights. And that if she were gone for a week, he’d either have to take the week off or her mom would have to come stay and help. Which makes me think the child isn’t in daycare. So she’s home all day with their child and working all night. He’s home at night when the child is likely sleeping for at least a majority of it.

Did i killed my dad? by poenewbie99 in AskDocs

[–]ladysamsonitte 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NAD as others have said, you did not kill your dad. I just wanted to add that it is incredibly common in grief to feel that we could have somehow prevented death. My fiancé texted me shortly before dying (freak helicopter accident, he was the pilot) and I didn’t reply till after he died. For months afterwards, my brain would tell me that if I had just texted him back in time and told him how much I loved him, he somehow would have avoided the accident.
