Im worried sick and dont know what to do! **updated & again!

I think I would tell them but try to encourage them not to come rushing back, keep them imformed of everyting thats going on.

I hope your oh will soon be feeling well again, stay strong, big hugs to you xx

You poor loves. I really hope your OH is ok. Lots of get well soon vibes to him! and love to you. Maybe try to get some more rest as its better to be well in yourself to support your OH. I don't really know what to suggest about his parents. Do you feel its serious enough that they need to know now? perhaps it might be better to only tell them when you know something for definite, unless you feel like you need someone else to be there for you both.

I really hope you're both ok xx

That's awful but you should tell them sooner than a soon thing, just in case (trying not to sound too negative). I know that if I were them I'd want to know so I could make the decision whether to come home or not.

It sounds horrid, I've had a migrainy thing for a couple of days now and that's because of the weather...

Hope it's all ok ?

How awful, I'm sorry.

I know it's easier said than done, but try not to worry too much. There are a million things it could be, and if you worry before you need to you're just going to make yourself ill, which will be no good to either of you.

As for his parents, they wll want to know, and will just be upset when they find out later. Don'ttell them while they are away, but when they are back, then tell them. Rehearse what ou are going to say. And try to stay calm - the will panic more if you sound like ou're panicking.

Keep us updated, my thoughts are with you, just try to stay calm. Make a list of questions you want to ask the doctor, it will help you to remember them. And remember, it's far more likely to be something small and easily fixed than something serious xxx

Tell them hes feeling unwell by all means but dont mention hospitals. Wait until the scan is over and results are through.

hugs to ya both, thinking of yas. x

Sending all get well vibes to your OH and a hug to you hun ?. Maybe it may be better to just advise them on the headaches he has been getting. Explain what you know and that there is no need for them to come home. But you need to do what you feel is best, just try and put yourself if your OH parents position, would you want to know?

Try and rest hun xx

Sorry just re-read, thought that his parents were due back soon which is why I said wait til the get back. Mabe tell them, but again, don't sound panicky, keep calm and rehearse what ou are going to say. If your OH is up to it, could you give them his number in the hospital so that they can speak to him to reassure themselves?

What's going to make them worry more? not being able to get hold of either of you, or you telling them the truth?

i would never lie about a situation, but like delvesje says, encourage them to stay on holiday and not rush back and say that if anything else happens, you'll be in touch straightaway.

if i were on holiday and something happened to a member of my immediate family, i would want to know about it. i'd make my own decision on whether to come back or not, but i'd definitely still want to know.

sending you massive hugs and love, let us know how he gets on ?

Aww thanks ladies, i think i'll at least wait until the scan results before i speak to his parents, he's an only child and they really would be on the next plane home, they've been so looking forward to this holiday and i would hate for them to come rushing back for a migraine. the doc assured us he doesn't think its anything too sinister as he passed all the balance, sensation and eye examinations with flying colours.

i work in the hosp he is in and its really difficult for me because i know the ward he is in doesnt have a good reputation, they've already proved that today. it makes me so angry! Why do people go into nursing when half of them dont even appear to like people!

thanks again

Easier said than done but ... no, I'm not going to do the 'try not to worry' line ...!

Mr SP suffered from what seemed like a migraine almost daily for about 3mths a couple of years ago - eventually it was diagnosed it as cluster headaches and eventually it went of its own accord. He was in for tests and such like - MRI's and wavelength tests and all sorts and I was absolutely 'aaaaaargh' about it ... so I do know what you're going thru'.

Is your OH just in for tests or did he get taken in because he collapsed or something ...?

I know what you mean, my OH is training to be a nurse, and I can't believe some of the stories she comes home with, why did these people ever go into nursing. At least they're balanced out by the lovly fantastic nurses.

At least with you looking out for him your OH will be fine!

no no he never collapsed, after 2 visits to the gp and loads of different painkillers (none of which worked) i ended up phoning nhs 24 yesterday evening, he was given another medication specifically for migraines and when it didnt work and he phoned me while i was at work to say the headache was worse than ever i went down to see the gp at the out of hours service and she said to bring him straight back up for review by the medics, the medics seen him and decided to admit him for tests and analgesia.

i know cluster headaches are much the same as detailed above with regards to no meds working, so maybe thats all it is, does your oh get the injection that helps them?

I really can't offer any advice other than what the others have said. Just wanted to say sending lots and lots of get well soon vibes to your OH & lots of ? to you. Nicky.

Hi

think all the good advice has been given but just wanted to say hang in there so get well vibes for your OH and hang in there vibes for you

x

Hey. Hope all is going ok and that he gets better soon x

Agree that the good advice has been given. Just wanted to send get well vibes and a hug to you x

Just wanted to say what everyone else has, and sending lots of love to you xxxx

How worrying. In regards to your OH's parents, i would tell them what's going on. I persoanlly wouldn't be able to hide it from them.

Sending get well soon vibes to your OH!

Hope you're ok and the scan went well today x

Sending get well vibes

xxxx

I would be honest with them.

I have been in the situation of having to tell FIL's that OH was in hospital having ct scans/lumber punctures, etc. I told them I'd let them know when we had results but they chose to drive down and see him (roughly 2 hours).

I would try and urge them to stay and finish their holiday if that is what you think is for the best.

Hope he feels better soon. And I hope you get some sleep. xx

Just wanted to say I hope they find out what is wrong, I am sending some please get well soon OH vibes your way x x

Get well soon vibes to your OH

And thoughts are with you.

Thats a grand positive update LMSB ... I'm glad he is feeling more comfy and that the ct scan was all clear ....

As for Mr SP - I think he did have some injections now you mention it but he's not had any reoccurance since so ... fingers x'd he won't.

Keep us updated with Mr LMSBs progress, and go get some sleep!

Mrs SP x

Really happy to hear your update, try and rest as much as possible now x

Your update sounds so posative I agree with the others make sure you have a rest now

Glad to hear a positive update, as others said, get some rest yourself now.
