I Know how hard this is...and I also know that the lack of sleep sometimes can also make things seem like they are not... I don't think that your husband or Family is feeling burdened by your ch or pain..they love you very much and when a loved one is in pain that is the hard part to watch and knowing their is nothing they can do to help you..But Don't EVER feel like you are a burden...You are a SURVIVOR!!! Lean on your family for support and be grateful that your husband does help you when you need it.. Be grateful for the little things like having someone to be their to help you and to lean on etc....wouldn't you help him if he wasn't feeling good? Wouldn't you want to do everything possible to make it easier on him..even though you couldn't take his pain away??? I think these answers you will find are a yes!!! Don't under estimate the power and compassion of the love of your family and friends ..they are and can be very powerful things..and if you need to lean on them then lean...next time you might have to hold them up....
Cindy I know all of this sucks and I wish none of us had to go through this HELL...but we are for whatever the reason..and that I my opinion makes us stronger people.. So Cindy...keep you chin up and enjoy your painfree times and relax...IT WILL GET BETTER...
Maybe your doc can find something else for you to take or an additional med that will help..HUGGS to you!!!
