[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 246789, member: 3444"] My husband insists that I go for most of his doctor appointments. psychiatrist is the only one I haven't gone to with him (he's probably afraid of all the dirt I'd bring up -- but he doesn't realize psychiatrist already knows all this :p ) husband gets intimidated by doctors and shuts down, forgets things. I remember at one neuro appointment the doctor started asking husband questions and husband just looked at me as if to say, "So? What should I tell him?" After an awkward silence I finally chimed in and answered the question. Now he just tells everybody I'm his "nurse". Some days I appreciate the trust he puts in me, but other times I wish he'd be a grownup and take some ownership for this information. Like you said, though, at least your husband took the babysteps and WENT. Hopefully the medication change will help and he'll see that and will continue to go back as needed. I think that's the biggest hurdle for men to get over. [/QUOTE]
