Hi April, sooner or later he will decide on his own that he needs to see a Dr. if he wants any kind of relief. But sometimes you just can't make them do what they are not ready to do. The only time that my husband Greg went to the Dr. willingly was when he started getting CH's they really scared him, his sister had 2 operations for brain tumors, so he thought he had one too. Which thank god, he didn't. When his CH's came again this year he needed some Verapamil, so I made the appointment and told the secretary to do a check up on him since I was sure he would not go back for awhile. He was not to happy that he had all the blood tests done, but it was the only way I could get them done because I knew once he gots his meds he would not go back again. To get him to the Dr. for anything else is almost impossible. Right, now Greg is on his 2nd month with out CH. Yea...
So, April, just be there for him and love him.
