Alternatives to the alternative
http://newly-nerfed.net/2009/12/21/alternatives-to-the-alternative/
My husband wrote a thread on the popular "But You Don't Look Sick?" message boards What's the Harm in CAM? about the potential harm done to patients by some forms of complimentary and alternative medicine (CAM). When he was requesting evidence that the treatments people were espousing worked, he was attacked by certain members who felt that he was maligning their chosen form of health care. Evidence was never presented. It was felt by some that there was no need to present evidence, as the patients' feeling better from these treatments was evidence enough.
It is not empirical evidence, and when called upon to produce empirical evidence, CAM-supporters usually come up empty-handed.

Solution!
I did a lot of research about why we were having problems in the sex department, and I think we have a solution. It turns out that I have vaginismus, and I went to http://www.vaginismus.com for answers. I bought their kit, and have been slowly working through it. Hope is in sight!

Sad
I'm sad.
I'm sad because my husband of eight months won't have sex with me.
I'm sad because the flat is a mess of piles of his things that I can't go through and organize, so they remain, and he does nothing about them.
He did keep me company while I washed dishes this afternoon, and he started work on rearranging the kitchen cupboards so they are more organzized and I can reach the stuff I need to without knocking over other stuff.
He says things have to be done slowly, because of his fibro and his energy levels and his pain, but what about my pain and energy levels? I live with it the same way he does and I get things done. I'm happy when he does the chores I can't do, but I am sick of living in this mess.
I am taking anti-anxiety medications to deal with the panic attacks that this all causes. He's afraid I'm going to tunr into my mother - a Valium addict. I assure him that I won't. He says me being upset drains his energy levels and the pills are the only way I can see to cpmbat that. We are on a waiting list for marriage counseling. Emails from his mother do not help because she has no understanding of chronic illness and chronic pain.
I'm less sad for writing this down.
