Should I call him?

You already know FDS’s answer here. What you need is support. I’m sorry you are dealing with this, I’m sorry it’s been difficult. You deserve to be treated better, you deserve someone who cares about you, who respects your boundaries, who shows you affection and compassion and empathy without expectation in return. True healing will come when you realize and internalize all of these things, because by then, you won’t even need to ask. You will know.

No!

Calling him won't make anything change.

There's nothing to say.

He had his chance.

Did he care about you when y'all were together? No

Why would he care about you now?

Don't call him!

There's this weird pattern of behaviour among people with chronic illness. It's usually talked about in regard to mental illness but I know plenty of people with purely "physical" illnesses who also struggle with it.

You start off sick, then you get medicated. The medication is effective, sometimes it takes a lot of time and suffering to find an effective treatment. You spend some time enjoying a return to normality or new lease on life and then, after a while, you start to doubt it. Medicine is for sick people, and I feel fine! Maybe I should stop taking this medicine? Who know what kind of side effects it is causing to me? How wonderful could my life be without this medicine limiting it? I feel great. I don't need it. I'm not hurting.

I think you know what happens when these thoughts are indulged.
