Colonoscopy, I think they tested his blood if there is everything okay with his hormones and his electrolytes (that words always made me think of idiocracy). He went for an ultrasound of his thyroid and an ultrasound of his stomach. In addition but that has nothing to do with this they tested...

@Friday To be honest I do not know what to say. Injustice wanted to say that I read what you wrote and that I am happy those maggots could save lifes.

@Friday I should have explained this better: They couldn’t find anything wrong with him and that’s why our gp said his lousy diet was the reason for him feeling unwell. Gap let vet write down what he ate for a number of days and was shocked. But then my guy changed his diet - still feeling...

Yes, a friend of my vet‘s had sepsis. I think I had a thread about it but I might be wrong because I cannot find it and he is afraid of his loved ones catching diseases. I explain here a bit but it‘s a long thread you do not have to read it. It is just about how my vet sometimes overanalyses and...

We all know that people with ptsd feel more fear and sometimes more anger than other people but have you or your sufferer ever felt more disgust than the normal person = have felt disgusted by thinks that actually aren’t disgusting? My vet for example feels disgusted by the handles of shopping...

I hope so because often I cannot say more that “there, there, that’s gonna be okay“. Like for example Vet telling me he wished he could stop thinking about stuff like fears he has or or things that stress him or things that are disgusting to his mind. Does your Vet have that, too? He often...

Cannot edit anymore: I think his worst medical experience was when he was in a hospital they put him on Tilidin and he had a bad reaction to this. It gave him nightmares so vivid he did not know if he was awake or asleep and when even when he was awake for a while he still didn’t know what was...

Yep, he stops complaining after I said this. He typically sighs or hugs me or gives me a pat on the shoulder or said hot water bag would be great. Or when I tell him it will get better with time he asks if I am sure. I say I am deadsure and he is happy with the answer. Sometimes he asks me for...

Thanks. I will read it.

No, that would be mean (cause I do not feel like a singer an do not have a head ache). It is a bit more complicated and maybe I should have explained better and not have expected everybody on here to know the whole backstory. Vet used to be a guy who never used to talk about how he felt (if it...

The problem with our gp is that he doesn’t have the best social skills. He might or might not make fun of him thinking he needs to drink cocoa or latte machchiatto. To be honest it sounds a little odd. He won’t make fun of the rest. But you know, that really sounds a little odd, people in our...

Sorry, for being off topic... but... Christmas cocktails, what a splendid idea! I am sorry for the megauncultivated question, but do those go with Stollen (you do have Stollen, don’t you?) and cookies?

It’s not really a rant and complain... just something I noticed a while ago and it became clear for me today and that is that vet started talking to me a while ago about some things like “I feel like this character from that movie“ or “I have got stomach cramps“. Typically I do not know what to...

That‘s good to hear. Thanks for sharing. Maybe it’s just that. I am a bit afraid that he has got a stomach tumor or something like this and I hope I am being silly. I mean I am happy that he is sharing with me when he is feeling unwell because he used not too.

But can you really become physically addicted to sugar. I guess he is sorrowful annoyed I monitor his health but then he talked to me about it how it physically hurts and goes away after he has drunken something sweet.

My Vet bought lots of red wine and even more sherry for the upcoming holiday season for the same reasons I guess but also because Sherry for some reason I do not know is associated with Christmas... and the red wine: you can make homemade mulled wine from it so that I cannot even complain. Not...

I told you my vet changed his diet month ago. Not 100 percent but he is trying to eat more healthy. I am trying to cook more healthy. Couldn’t find the old thread. He had constipation, he changed his diet. On the one hand it became better... but he still often has constipation... and diarrhea...

So Vet, the kids and me have been watching Dumbo (the 2019 life action movie) with Colin Farrell. Colin Farell plays a disabled Vet (Holt Farrier) in the movie. So Vet seemed to be pretty unmoved during the movie (but he was sad as he later told me) and I did not pay much attention. I always...

@LuckiLee Thanks for thinking about me ?I am okay just really, really busy... sorry I did not show up earlier. Avoidance... well... maybe but why doesn’t he just avoid PTSD by doing fun things with his family. @grit: Do you still volunteer?

Yes, I think he feels that pressure to keep up appearances in public... but I do not think he needs to volunteer so much. He works and we pay our way. There is no obligation to give more to society at our own expense to my mind. I think he sees it a bit different... but I do not think we have...

Yes, exactly this. Vet makes a plan to volunteer at an event, Vet realizes it involves crowds and scrum (oh... sorry... I think scrum is a word from the world of rugby but I am not talking about rugby here, how is the non-rugby wird for this? Jostle?)... so he realizes it involves his...

So my vet likes to help other people which is nice... but he likes to do it at “great emotional expense“ (the best English word I can come up with)... like when he slept only three hours... but needs to help a friend with something. He also likes to promise to volunteer for something and then...

Yes, he strongly identifies with Christopher Robin and yes, it happens with other movies too. For example he identifies with Raleigh Becket from “Pacific Rim“, with Hercule Poirot (from that old-fashioned movies), with batman/Bruce Wayne, Spiderman... he actually typically is drunk when he talks...

I’d like to add: Not all vets are the same but I think a lot of vets feel like... I am not sure if I can explain this in English which is not my native language... like they are the frontline of civilization, you know, that they are the only thing that stands between you and something bad... and...

My guy doesn’t like to cry in front of other people and when he needs to cry typically he is hiding away and I respect that. Another vet once told me that this is how some men show their love by being for their loved ones. They do not want to burden them with things. I think he was right and I...
