Sally, I am so sorry! I have a feeling this is a culmination of a thousand different crises that you have had to endure since his onset in 2000 . I have had TM since 2002 and have at times put my husband through hell.
crying, moody, listless, nasty...at one time I screamed that "I hate my life"!!!!!!! as if it was his fault. At times I resent him and anyone who can walk and run and not have to live each day in pain. I understand how hurt you must be that he did not discuss it with you! I mean you are the one who is there for him each and every day.. and you should have been in on the decision. Has he explained why he chose to take the shot??? Was he feeling pressured?? Is he able to go to work? How has TM affected his life?? Are you the one on this list? When my husband was very ill with Menieres disease, it was I who went on the internet and found the list. He did not want to be a part of it. It was I who needed it as the caregiver. Call a friend and go to lunch or a go for a walk.. try to get rid of some of this anger.. Please let us know how you are doing!!!

Hi Guys I really need to run something by you please. My husband who you may remember got TM in Dec 2000, and who can walk with a stick, got TM from a flu jab we are sure. He went to the Doc's on Thursday and the nurse in the surgery said he should have a jab for pneumonia. He ran that past the Doctor who said "I don't see why not"???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????? So he had it done there and then. He then told me he'd had it done. How could anyone be so incredibly stupid? Why would he tell me? And how can I work through this? I have not lost my health to TM but I have lost a lot of my husband to TM. My life has been devastated by TM too. As you can tell I'm very hurt, angry and frightened. You can also get horrific side effects from this 2nd jab so I am terrified for his health and wondering how our marriage can carry on if he suffers no adverse side effects or further disability as he has been so stupid and did not even discuss it with me 1st. I do know this though I will run as far and as fast as I can if something else happens to him coz as far as I'm concerned its self inflicted this time. I would really welcome your thoughts and comments.........especially if you can shed any light on wot might of motivated him to have this jab, and then to tell me? I have been awake crying since 4am and now I'm at work I keep getting upset again. Sorry to come to the list with all of this but my other friends do not quite understand the implications here!
