Hi Tamar,
I'm so sorry to hear you are in such pain. In terms of therapy, sorry, I don't know your story. Have you ended therapy--permanently or temporarily?
Your husband doesn't sound very supportive. Is this unusual for him or is this an issue?
It sounds to me like you are plenty the fighter but now's not the time to be playing that "role." Can you guys talk about this?

My husband wants everything to carry on as normal. I told him I can’t, I just can’t. I have to start living life according to what’s realistic for me; pacing myself, making sure I have the energy for the things I decide to do.
