Should couples do the MP at the same time?

It is the common belief that if you are in a relationship and your partner is not participating, you probably will not get completly well, as you will continue to trade the illness back and forth. Many variances here, of course. But there are just too many co-inky-dinks happening now for even the govt. to keep sweeping under the rug - how can we keep from not noticing much longer?

One of my husbands married patients have a scoring system each morning - they rate the day by 1-10. 1 being the best and 10 being the worse pain they have exp. This lets them communicate instantly with little explanation and less room for irritation! So if she tells him she is having a three day and he tells her he is haveing an 8 day, she knows to give him a wide berth and she should not act so perky around him! He could then tell her an hour later he is about a 5 and feeling better but still not willing to drive to the mall and she may now feel like a 7 and not feel like fixing dinner.

My husband and I have been blessed that most of the time we herx on opposite days and we are able to take care of each other. The beauty of the MP is that you can also modify it so that you can plan for your meds to herx at times that will work for both of you! We have had some pretty rough times and the emotional herxes are really hard, because you do not really understand it until afterwards. That is why it is really important to use this site and support often. There are a lot of good mentors here. And use your sense of humor!

You never know how sick you really are until you start killing off those buggers and you really do not know how long it will take. But you should not put it off any longer, that is for sure.

What my husband and I are greatful for is the better quality of life we have. We have greatter stamina than a year ago - yes we are still sick - but not as sick - we are stonger and we have checked off so many illnesses. My husband has lost over 6 inches off his belt since Christmas and looks 15 years younger!

I would just buy your husband some glasses too, keep him on the same diet (you have to cook for two anyway) and offer him the medication - he will probably say no - then offer it again until he accepts - when he notices you getting well, he will want to get better too. (however, he may not understand when you start getting sick) :shock:

He will come around, 20 years is a long time to invest in someone - good luck and just get started!

In honor of my starting the MP, a friend gave me a 'tortoise and the hare' charm bracelet. She also wrote a poem for me that I wanted to share with y'all:

Slow and steady wins the race
Mino, beni are the base
Mini-steps are just the pace
So nasty bugs will have no place
Slow and steady wins the race.

Slow and stready wins the race
Bringing down too high an ACE
Use that power "mino-mace"
To erase that buggie's case
Exposing him to show his face
Slow and stready wins the race.

Slow and steady wins the race
You control a healthy pace
Giving life a sturdy base
Soon you'll have a happy face
That shows you've won the deadly race
Putting sarcoidosis in its place
Slow and steady won the race!
