Wives of Alcoholics Community Group
A forum of healing and help for wives of alcoholics.
Well Friday I had to meet my AH at his job in the early afternoon, when he approached me I noticed he looked really pale and was shaking. I don't see him sober this time of the day much so I don't really know what to expect! He told me that he wasn't feeling well dizzy and weak. After work he text me saying he was walking in the front door at home and passed out before going inside. He checked his BP and it was low. (even feeling this way all day he did drink of course) He spent the entire weekend relaxing at home and didn't drink, saturday he was unable to eat said he had no appitite sunday he drank some V8 juice and had a small meal. He went to work this morning and text for me to call and get him a doctors visit since he was having the dizziness again. I spoke to him a couple hours ago and he said he's also feeling like his head is swimming! He couldn't explain what that feels like.... For so long i've googled every alcoholic related illiness and symptoms and every time he goes to the Doctor i'm in fear of is this going to be the day they say something major is wrong with him??? I don't really trust the medical provider he sees as he's a PA and the Doctor that he works for refuses to see my AH because he won't quit drinking, this PA knows he drinks and I don't think he really knows just how much because i'm sure he's not getting all the information he needs to determind what test needs to be ran. He had upper and lower GI checked last year and had serveral polyps removed. Wierd thing is 3 yrs ago he was told upper GI showed pre cancer cells he was treated nothing found in lower that doctor retired so when followed up with another Doctor nothing showed up on upper but the polyps showed on lower. I hate when you go from one doctor to another! Has anyone else been through medical issues due to the drinking??? He told me he was scared of something being wrong but he knows when he feels better that he will be drinking again. I'm trying to not be over sympathetic and explained to him that I couldn't set myself up for when he's back to drinking and verbally bashing me.... Its been so peaceful the past 2 days I don't wish anything serious to be wrong but I know this isn't going to last unless it is serious!
