I have printed off a ton of information and shes read through it. She acknowledges that ptls is what she has. I cannot believe this is what has changed her so much. Thanks for the replies.

Yep, its ptls.... I had it for ten years....nearly caused a divorce....So we had the reversal in jan. and everything went back to the way it was before tl...No more migraines, no more pms, no more bad periods....And my sex drive is up to every other day from nothing for months....I would urge her to have the surgery...it is life changing....small investment for happiness.

You are in a tough situation. I never knew what I was feeling had a name. For three out of the four weeks in a month, I was miserable. Some mornings, I felt like my blood was actually boiling.
Print some of this out and let her read it. Acknowledge that she is feeling all these things and let her decide if she wants to persue TR. I'm sure she's probably thinking "what if it doesn't work?" or "my doctor says there is no such thing". Encourage her to visit the posts regarding PTLS. Send her a link to the search results. Maybe she'll recognize some of the things that have been going on and will want to get help.
Good luck to you. It was very nice of you to reach out for help for your wife.

I am a very concerned husband. We had a very big fight a few weeks back and i moved out. I started researching what could be wrong because her right side always hurts sometimes bringing her to tears. I came across the ptls and she has at least 90% of the symptoms. She is suffering from severe PTLS and she has admitted that this is probably whats wrong with her. She has mentioned filing for divorce but ive been begging and pleading with her to go to the doctor before the marriage ends over something that isnt her fault and can possibly be fixed. She is very hard headed though and has just told me to stop talking about it because she says it gets old hearing it everyday. She thinks everyone is against her and says shes confused and doesnt know what she wants. Here are some of her symptoms: mood swings, irritable (contant yelling at the kids), no sex drive or interest AT ALL almost to the point where she thinks its bad, terrible cramping, pinching feeling in her right side, very heavy periods that you never know when are coming or going sometimes lasting 2 weeks, terrible migraine headaches, odor problems along with breath (shes even said this a few times but ive noticed it), bleeding gums, cold all the time, aching all over her body, no energy whatsoever, isolation from other people, depression?- not really depression but just seems like shes never happy, anxiety. I could go on and on. I really feel like she doesnt want a divorce but maybe it will just take time for her to go to the doctor. Ive told her over and over that money for a reversal isnt an issue. Im willing to do whatever i have to save the marriage. I know there are many women out there hurting from this but im a man that is really tore up over this as well. Any feedback will be appreciated.
