My wife is losing her love of life

Welcome fayhaiden.

I’m so sorry to hear about your wife. Living with all of that would certainly drain the will to live right out of a person. And out of you, seeing the one you love the most go through it. Hugs to you both!
I am not a medical professional, but from what you’ve described it sounds like possibly an endocrine system (hormone) problem or at least some of the symptoms. Problems with the endocrine system can cause widespread, seemingly unrelated symptoms and can be very serious. Please don’t give up looking for answers!
So many people have and are experiencing the same situation: life changing/interrupting symptoms and can’t find the answer. Things that can make life unbearable at times. Myself included. We would like to think that the medical “professionals” care, and really know their stuff and at this point in time should have a lot of information and treatments for diseases/disorders…. but they often don’t know as much as they claim. So, so many times it takes seeing doctor after doctor after doctor…before you find the cause and a treatment.
Please know, and let your wife know that she is not alone. Keep researching. Keep seeing new doctors. Email or chat with doctors, scientists and researchers that you can’t visit in person. Be your own advocates. And NEVER take passivity for an answer. The explanation IS out there and a treatment IS out there. Don’t let the ignorance or apathy of a so called expert deter you from looking for answers or from the reality of what you know is happening.

Hi Fayhaiden,
I am so sorry to hear of your poor wife's problems! She sounds very ill. It seems like you have been doing the best you can for her but to no avail. At this point, you need to pray with her to God and pray often! Tell God how you both feel and what you need him to do. After all, God made your wife; and God can heal her. Just talk to God like you would your best friend. Even if you've never prayed before, start now and talk to God about your wife's problems and yours too. You don't have to pray in any formal way. Just talk to God. I'm sure he enjoys that since very few people talk to him anymore. It states in the Bible, ( I don't remember exactly where.) that "he knows of all your needs." I'm sure he knows of your wife's needs and yours too. Try new doctors and keep praying and have faith that everything will work out for the best.
I'll remember you both in my prayers too.

It sounds like she has been through a lot of testing. Sometimes when you are at "the end of your rope" with unknown issues, it is time to go to a center where a multi-disciplinary team works together to find answers. Have you considered contacting Mayo Clinic (http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63) or a large teatching university hospital near you?

So very sad to hear of the situation your wife and you are suffering .
My depression was diagnosed as Anxiety due to the Pandemic which was possible. I pushed further and was diagnosed with overactive thyroid which is now under control due to fitting medication.
I am hoping for better days for you and your wife.

It may be far out but massage therapy can be a healing option -- even a simple head or foot massage by you. It's a primal way to show affection -- dogs and cats love being rubbed there heads, my senior cat surely seems to like it; it seems to help make connection with another being which I feel she has been missing, You probably have heard of the babies in a orphanage who showed marked health and development when an ordinary woman gave them human bodily contact. Maybe you want to contact a RMT to even see if they have anything to offer for your rather intractable problem?

I truly hope you keep looking for professional evidence-based solutions. What I did not see what was the catalyst for this downturn about four years ago? Obviously all didn't start suddenly; could that provide some clue?

Wishing you good luck.

I’m sorry for your many troubles with your wife and as her mate and caregiver it’s a lot to carry. I know you’re in a helpful place here because so many of us are going through a lot of suffering and understand how difficult and frustrating it is trying to get the right help for your wife.. I was just wondering if you and your partner had covid vaccines or had covid infection…it’s just that the symptoms sound a lot like what people are reporting after having had covid or the vaccine…I sincerely hope that she will get the right help she needs, good luck to you both and don’t give up the fight.
