Do you both have a prayerful life?  Does your husband have good company?  Bad company at work?  Do you have connections with his family?  What do they have to say?

We both pray as much as we can, and do spiritual reading/meditation. As is expected with most working-class occupations, the men swear a great deal, dropping F-bombs a lot and making impure jokes, which my husband hates. I know this is hard on him. They are otherwise good workers and his boss is great, thanks be to God. His family helps us financially thanks be to God, but they never offer to actually come over and help (they live almost 10 hours away), which is quite disheartening because nothing is hindering them from doing so. We've described in detail our sufferings and all they say is they will pray for us. I think they honestly deep down despise how strong we are in the Catholic Faith (non-Catholics sometimes think our Faith is the reason why we are suffering), they're very proud people in that way and either ignore or scoff at little gems of Catholic truth we share, shared in a kind manner. They prioritize visiting with their Church friends over calling us, even on days like Christmas. My husband would probably find being on here too overwhelming, but maybe on a relatively calm day I can suggest it just in case, thank you.

I hope these questions aren’t too personal, I’m just having a hard time wrapping my mind around how you can both be of such poor health and suffer from the same ailments? 

Were you both sickly when you met? Did your and his condition develop after you married? Have you lived in the same house since being married? I’m just wondering if your condition is environmental. Maybe mold toxins?

That's fine, I understand it is quite crazy! We both had some health issues before we married, but they did worsen when we got married. Looking back I don't know why the priest let me marry in my state (my state is worse in some ways than my husband), it felt like he wanted to get rid of me or something. I do not wish to accuse the priest, but his behaviour was odd. I had been too poor to solve my problems for so long, so my husband provided for me and unfortunately we were misled by heath care providers that gave terrible advice and gave me new problems. We have always lived together after marriage, yes. I have thought of mold toxicity too, perhaps CIRS or something, I'm not sure. We do live in a poorly maintained apartment building but keep our unit as clean as we can, and have recently got an air purifier. People smoke like crazy inside the building sometimes, I'm sure that has affected us negatively.

I feel for you both. I do hope you will not be too hard on yourself with keeping up with housework. If you are not getting adequate rest, it will make things worse. If you can afford to get paper products for eating and drinking I sure would! When we sleep our cells are healing and our body is doing what it needs to do in order to rejuvenate. 

I’m going to guess you are dealing with several auto immune diseases which conventional doctors are nearly worthless in diagnosing and treating. Have you been able to see a functional medicine doctor? 


I apologize for veering off the original intent of your post. I just feel if we can get to the root cause, things will improve. Your husband just sounds exhausted and stressed to the max. Is there any way he could procure a better job? I’ve found that taking amino acids has helped greatly with managing my stress and mood, especially l-theanin, 5 htp and GABA. They are not expensive and have been a game changer for me with mood and sleep. 

Praying for you and your husband! Not having much family support is very difficult. Unfortunately, you are in good company as many trads suffer that same type of sorrow.
