About Me
I am a 45 year old woman in a marriage where the husband is verbally and emotionally abusive. He has an anger management issue that he refuses to deal with. He is 63 and has lost all interest in sex and intimacy. I have no support in this. I was diagnosed with R/A and fibromyalgia 1 1/2 years ago after undergoing 7 foot surgeries with many complications. Now, the other foot has to be operated on. I've also had knee surgery 2 months ago and need back surgery. Symptoms started 5 years ago and a I feel like my body is constantly under attack. It's been really hard on me, both physically and mentally. Due to meds taken, they've weakened my immune system to where I contacted mono and Lyme's disease. I'm too young to be in this bad of shape. I don't want to be this way anymore.

Close Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Journey2 hasn’t entered any details for this support group.Open Trigeminal Neuralgia
Have had this for about 7 years now. Mainly affects the left side of my face, but will occassionally affect the right side. Used to be triggered by dental work, now could be almost anything, including sunburn.

Open Impotence & Erectile Dysfunction
I am a 45 year old woman who is married to a 64 year old man. We have been together for 10 years, during which he has always had severe problems. I thought it would get better, seeing that he blamed everything on his ex-wife. Later, he admitted he has always had issues. I can't tell you how this has affected me. I don't want him to touch me now because I know it won't go anywhere. It's been maybe 2 1/2 years since he has tried anything serious with me. Many times I have cried afterwards.
Open Sarcoidosis
I have just been diagnosed with this in the last month. I also have rheumatoid arthrits, as well, so I knew this was a possibilty. I guess it was better than the alternative, which would have been a cancerous tumor.
Treatments
- Methotrexate Somewhat Helpful
Open Sexual Abuse
I was abused by my father since I was at least 3 yrs. old (that's as far as I can remember back to). My mother divorced my dad when she found out he was abusing my older sister. Later, I was abused by my mother's new brother-in-law. She refused to believe it until my youngest sister said she had been abused by him, too. Nothing was done to either of them.
Treatments
- Abuse Counseling Working / Worked
- Have been in counseling for 2 years now. Still haven't been able to deal with it.
Open Breakups & Divorce
I'm 45 years old and stuck in a loveless and abusive marriage. This is my second marriage and his third. He has 3 children from his other marriages and I have three from mine. I've done everything I could to make this marriage work, but, I just don't have it in me to do anymore.
Treatments
- Couples Counseling Not Working
- Started this before the marriage and went for 2 years. All he did was complain about my children and how everything was their fault.
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Still in counseling trying to get strong enough to do what I have to do. He has truly worn me down.
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- I have great support friends who are always there for me!
- Support Groups Working / Worked
