(There was a cancellation, otherwise we would have had to wait months, which is too long). We may have to have an MRI to make sure it is not awful. Fingers crossed. Better safe than sorry.
I am looking forward to good news, hopefully. I have looked it up, based on the helpful responses, and it seems quite common. So thank you for the helpful information.
It also helps to have lots of doctor friends from the top areas. Again, I would not have known to ask if helpful people had not come forward, so I am grateful! It is always nice to have sane people amongst the crazies.
Lesson learned: when there is a huge personality change, there may be health trouble. As the helpful posters posted, it is very difficult to go through, so I certainly hope the helpful posters never have to go through this.
If any of the helpful posters are curious about doctors names or information, feel free to post and I would be happy to point you in the right direction.
Thank you!!!

Your first stop is to insist your DH have a thorough physical. You need to talk to the doctor yourself and express your concerns about recent changes in your DH's behavior. After that, you need to find a psychiatrist who will prescribe medication for your DH that may help with his behavior. If he's giving away money, that's a problem that must be corrected soon. But likely there's a physical basis for this, and you'd best get him to a doctor soon.

OP, you have to admit that your inittial posts were very vague and open ended. I did not weigh in because I had no idea what he was doing and I did not want to give inappropriate advice.
