My wife suffered with PNI in 2009 just before my daughters 1st birthday. After finding the right dose of medication, some counseling she managed to get through the illness and eventually recovered.
4 years on and we have had our second child who is now 20 months old and unfortunately the illness has come back after 2yrs and seems to be worse than the first. She's back on the meds and has booked in to see a counselor again but in the mean time trying to be strong.
I'm not really sure what i did last time apart from just "be there" for her and try my best to be positive for her it was all such a blur to me and she quite copped well then.
This time seems very different, Very emotional (which of course is understandable) to the point that its effecting her quite badly. I've tried to be supportive to the best that i can, I constantly tell her i love her (which of course i do) and its just a blip shes going through and in time things will get better.
What I'm kind of asking is am i doing everything right? Should i be doing something else to help her? although we have been through it before it seems alien to me again.

Yes, you are being fantastic. She will recover again and you will be a big part of that. Is there anything particular we cn help with?

You sound like a wonderful husband. You are doing everything right- being ssupportive and reassuring ass its easy to losse perspective when in the depthss of pni. I know dealing with pni can be very draining and frustrating but have hope things will get better.

You're doing great. Stick at it, i know its really hard and you think you're not being loved but you have to remember your wife will get over it. She has got over it before and she will do it again.
My wife suffered from severe PNI for twelve months and we've had a second child since, so I've been there aswell.
Things will get better and do get better. Whilst she may not show it, she will love you even more if you are strong and there for her.
all the best stuart
