Kind of new

Hi guys, so my husband has an account here and has had a lot of help from a lot of you. He has come over a lot of his anxieties, but has his ups and downs. He still would like some advice for some things, but can't use the site himself because it is a trigger for him and his HA So I'll be here instead of using his account. I also want to help other people out when I can. Nice to meet you all :)

Hi venusbluejeans, thank you for the welcome. The site and all of you have been very helpful so far. I have also been diagnosed with some auto-immune diseases so I also have some experience with health related issues. I had depression for awhile and I have mood disorder, so I also come here with some experience of my own.

Congratulations to your husband for realizing what his triggers are and trying to avoid the. Sites like these can be amazing resources for people and a great place of support, but they can also fuel the fire so the fact that he can recognize that is really commendable.

It's also great of you, as his partner, to want to be an active participant in his care and health.

I have written this on a few posts here, but I will say something my gp once said to me that I try to use as a mantra when I am fixated on something my body is doing...
"Not every sensation is a symptom"

It's not always easy to believe that, but the reality is our bodies do so many things and there are lots of systems working in tandem, lots of processes happening at every moment, so there are bound to be things that come to our awareness from time to time.

I am in this battle too. It is NOT easy.

Good luck to you both :)

Thank you very much for the kind words. I'll keep that mind and will let him know, it's quite accurate.
