In Reply to: I Am So Frustrated Right Now! posted by jen on August 04, 1999 at 14:41:48:
Nobody asked me but...
I know that after a couple months into the cycle, I
can be very short with my answers, even to people that
are trying to help. Doesnt make it right. But I have been
frustrated after 16 years of this.
This morning my wife said as I was having a coughing fit
after sitting up all night ...I hope you think about this
next time u have a cigarrette...well ok. Made me angry
but sometimes its not what we say but when we say it.
When u have tried everything that has come along to
ease these miserable ch's ....and then some Doc
offers something that has failed u b4 it is just tuff
to say good idea.
Maybe Brian is in despair over the inability to
find relief..sorry that u end up having to catch the
grief...
I love my wife..she never complains about the stuff
we have missed over the years because I had a ch or
knew I was gonna get one. But sometimes I am sure
I sound to her like Brian did with you.
I know this is difficult to understand but in ten years
he has found no relief so I guess he has a right to
be irritated, hostile and upset. Dont get me wrong we
should never "kill the messenger" but we all forget.
Kudos to you for hanging in and trying to help.
PFD's to all
