My problem is a massive one and here is the synopsis: Every time I go to my GP about my wife, with genuine concerns about her health, she has been there before me - telling monstrous lies and engaging in character assassination. We went to a psychiatrist, at MY request, and the psychiatrist mentioned issues with Morbid Jealousy Disorder and Paranoid Ideation. ENOUGH SAID! I was in cahoots with the psychiatrist and my wife refused to go back as the psychiatrist was talking rubbish. Even my wife's family are down on top of me, for DRAGGING her off to a psychiatrist, when there was absolutely no need. They are adamant that she will not be going back as it's so unfair on her when there's nothing wrong.
I have noticed massive cognitive decline as well as very peculiar movements in the fingers, toes, arms and head, trunk as well as facial muscles and slurring of speech. I am trying to make sure that she spends as much time as is possible with friends and family members. However, I have had no feedback from anyone. The reality is that it probably won't come from her family members because of the major marital problems I raised in the past - and this would provide answers! SAD, I KNOW. In addition, if friends or work colleagues mention it to her, I will be the last to hear about it.
I worry about her driving as I see her toes dancing at night when she is barefoot. Her hands, arms are constantly going up to her face and her fingers twitch in typing- motion. She is breaking stuff on a regular basis...light switches, knobs, buttons, levers, chords,etc.
I have brought all of this to the GP but he refuses to take me seriously and is blatantly dismissive of me at this stage, I WON'T GIVE UP! Her brain scan was 'normal' apart from 'Several Peri-Vascular Spaces in the Basal Ganglia'. She sat in front of the neurologist and made me look like a complete fraud / idiot by saying that all her movements were voluntary. It's only since then that they have become a lot more pronounced. There's no way I can get her back, besides, I don't want her family down on me like a tonne of bricks...AGAIN!
Any advice? It's all very over-whelming. I feel completely isolated. One or two of my own family members have supported me and have vouched that they have noticed the signs. Other family members believe it to be marital and have fallen for her stories...HOW COULD YOU?...etc
All in all, it's been distressing.
ANY ADVICE?...OR,INDEED, SIMILAR STORIES WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANKS FROM IRELAND.
