Not to keep nagging you, but I would not be able to get out of bed in two days without my meds. I don't know what my dx is exactly, but if I don't take my diuretic at least 3 times a week, my fanny is dragging. More often and my blood pressure drops too low. My beta blocker keeps my heart beating otherwise yeah I would have been gone long ago. I am 60, female, and about as wide as I am tall! Maybe he doesn't realize he could be feeling better, esp if he is telling drs he is feeling better than he really is. I TOTALLY get not wanting to scare the dog, that sounds just like me!, but DBT could help you state your case reasonably, I found it very helpful. I did not "get" assertiveness training and stuff, but I liked DBT, I just couldn't stand the people!
