[QUOTE="Molly56, post: 903153, member: 84857"] [USER=88720]@andreaabbott1[/USER] ...I can fully sympathise with all that you say...my partner has this afternoon effectively just discharged himself from the pain management clinic and also from the orthopaedics for problems with his knee.....tomorrow he is seeing the GP about pain in his hip and his shoulder and will expect him to do something about it...is totally and utterly crazy but nothing I can do about it....he never listens to what I say or to any GP or consultant and never remembers what they say... ..can also relate to the lying bit too as amongst other things he has been known to write false bs readings in his book (anything over 15 is written down as 14 point something)..have no idea why he does this and no idea what this achieves other than lying to himself too...is probably part of the denial process... Not exactly advice but more of a suggestion....have you ever been to the GP yourself to tell them how this is all affecting you and to also outline the issues and concerns you have....have done this to help myself to cope with the situation that I find myself in and whilst they are not allowed to comment specifically about my partner's health (patient confidentiality and all that) they know that I am fully aware of his medical situation (as like you I have attended appointments with my partner in the past to help him remember what is said) and the GP can make suggestions as to how I can best deal with it to maintain my own health and wellbeing. This has certainly helped me to cope better with the situation as well as talking to people here on the forum. Wishing you all the best and take care of yourself. [/QUOTE]
