I have been given a new diagnosis, which both shocks and saddens me. I received this diagnosis from my wife. I suffer IBHS, or Irritating Butt Head Syndrome. When I inquired as to how long this condition has existed, she stated the underlying symptoms have been there for years, but only now have the symptoms become intolerable. On the up-side, it appears other people suffer the consequence of the disease and not me, I just bear the burden of the symptoms. Which as it turns out are easily managed with gentle reminders of my condition from my loving wife.

If you fear you too suffer this incurable, yet treatable disease, just ask your wife, but do yourself a favor, don't ask for a second opinion. The line gets kind of long.

If you are female, do not fear that you have this dreaded disease, as apparently you are immune and any symptoms you might suffer are apparently sympathetic side effects of your husband's IBHS. If your husband does in fact have IBHS, and only you can tell for sure, be gentle with him in both divulging the diagnosis and managing the symptoms.

A final note to sufferers of IBHS, send flowers often - it does not always help, but you need all the help you can get.

Live long and prosper!

you crack me up
Rick,

Thanks for my laugh of the morning! Yes, my husband also has such a condition, lol!
Maybe we need to start a new board for this condition- for both the patients and their "caregivers"- lol!

Hope you have a great day and glad that your wife enlightened you of your new diagnosis

I'm sure my wife would include me in this group too:)

How she puts up with me, I'll never know - I told her when we first met, "I'm not easy to love." 20 years later, I still can't run her off, LOL:)

Where would men be without the women in our lives? That's another chapter, eh Rick?

The old woman I live with says
The old woman I live with says I am crude, rude, tactless, and socially unacceptable.
I think I am basically lovable.

Funny, LOL
My prince charming has this disease also, but he is still my prince charming. Yes flowers do help, and when all you guys have an exceptionally bad flair up something sparkly might also help!
I will have to tell Mr Charming they now have a syndrome classification for his condition!
