Oh wow 😮 same with my husband. We are now arranging for help to come in several times a week, and as mentioned in a separate post, we are now seeing the neurologist, a psychiatrist and a counselor. The neurologist is not as helpful with the “bad behavior” as the psychiatrist and counselor. They are the ones keeping ME sane.
I have the same situation here. Doctors have no idea how bad it is because he tells them he's doing "very well, much better" even though his chronic pain is getting worse. He says he wants to be the "model patient and make the Doctors proud of me". I tell Doctors, family, friends what I'm experiencing but I worry they think I'm exaggerating. They can see the confusion but not the really bad times. It's so frustrating!
