So on the news this morning they were saying that the stress of bad marriages has shown to make a spouse sick. I could have told them that. My FWH has never been so sick in his entire life since he started his A. For awhile we thought he had a brain tumor. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> He is still catching a cold every other week. So I want to know has anyone else noticed this phenomenon? (did i spell that right?)

When I was on the monorail at the Minnesota Zoo with my children, I overheard someone in the next car telling a friend how her mother is always sick -- she was sick all winter -- and there was just so much disgust in this daughter's voice. I remember thinking that could be me.

Novels written before 1900 are full of women with "nervous disorders." I think I know what causes those "nervous disorders."

I saw that too on the Today show.I was thinking,great,now more reason to blame "Marriage" as the root of our problems versus the INDIVIDUALS BEHAVIOR. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> Grrrrrr

There are parts of the Today show I really like then there are a lot of other parts I think are doing a disservice to the public.They speed through some of these segments just go get to the infernal commercial breaks and leave so much valuable information out.

My WH was sick all the time too: major loss of weight,sleepless nights,strep throat left and right,stomach aches,anxiety,etc,etc months and months after the onset of the A.He can thank his choices and the homewrecking trash for all that.

I still don't sleep all that well.

Once I found out that my H was having an A; I kinda figured it all out. Since the start of the A his blood pressure stayed high and he stayed in the doctors office threatening a stroke more often but/once the A was ENDING and we were working things out; he got better and no longer needed med's.

I guess next time he gets sick w/his blood pressure * I might suspect that the A is somewhat of the issue. (HA)
