3. My hub watches TV all day and is a sucker for supplement or medication commercials.

The latest one to catch his eye is the stupid Balance of Nature. I had to tell him the manufacturer was shut down last year by the FDA for unfounded claims and concerns that their supplements may not actually contain what they claimed to.
He also is a bit of a hypochondriac; constantly worried about getting pneumonia or any infections. I realize he has severe COPD and is on oxygen, but feel bad he bugs his doctor so much every time he imagines he is getting sick. I get so tired of hearing about his health, too. I don't need constant updates on how often he takes a dump or what color his sputum looks like. My nerves get strained to the breaking point, so I can understand how you feel. I started telling him to write down his symptoms in a journal, hope that will give him something to do and will bother me less!

Take Care
