Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Everything playing up recently - I'm mid Fibro flare with a grumbly tummy atm - and I was doing soooo good. The only thing is could be is stress.

Hubby and I are so broke atm. I'm not working and we just don't have enough money. Money just seems to run away from our bank account. We spent loads more than we meant to on honeymoon and blew all our savings on that and the wedding. We've got loads on the credit cards. EEEK!

Hubby is really stressed about it and is stressing at me. I'm looking for a part-time job atm, but I'm also supposed to be doing weather work for myself. I haven't done enough to push this and it isn't going very well. Si is really disappointed and p*ssed off with me about it. He doesn't understand how hard it is to get motivated when I'm all Fibroed out and I feel sick.

He just doesn't understand the Fibro full-stop. He could understand the IBS and if I have a really bad sudden Fibro attack, then he's wonderful, but he just doesn't get the aching all over everyday, feeling knackered all the time and having a head full of fog. It doesn't seem to penetrate his brain!

He doesn't help much around the house, doesn't help much walking the dog (though he's taken him out now thank god), etc. So if I feel awful, then nothing gets done.

I'm realy been thinking about this today because my new doctor was talking about seeing if I can come off my a-d's as the "stressful period" of moving house and getting married is over. I'm worse now than I ever was and that really isn't good. This is supposed to be a great time and Si and I are arguing so much.

Thanks for listening. You guys are my only support network atm. {{{HUGS}}}
