I am very sick and find myself wondering if I'll make it through this time. I have always been sick and been told many times that I would die or that there is nothing that anyone can do for me other than major surgery every 4 years. I do not come back from under the anestetic as well as I used to and have refused surgery but I am being tested again to see if that is the way I must go. I cannot afford the specialist visits and must be on indigent programs so the process is slow and I am in alot of pain but no one seems to care. I had a CAT scan done Nov. 3 and the doctor hasen't even called me back. I was told that they did not find what they were looking for and wanted to do more tests and the doctor would call me in a week, also I was supposed to be refered to another specialist as well and have yet to hear from them. I am only 25 just the first of this month and can't even work. I am so far in debt I don't know how to ever get myself out. I just got married and have a wonderful husband that I feel like I burden greatly upon him. I know he doesn't feel this way at all but I cannot even do anything for myself sometimes and he is to young to have to deal with all this. He is my God send though and I would not be here without him. I am afraid I won't do well this time though and will not make it. As it is they think I am going through early menopause and that means no children. Not that I could take care of them anyway. I am loosing my faith in everything and the pain will not stop. I used to believe very strongly that I would live forever because I am not even supposed to be here in the first place and immortality did not seem that inconceivable. I don't even know if it would be worth it though unless I could live a full life. I guess I'm just venting because I can't tell my fears to anyone else and try to be strong for everyone else. I don't know what to do anymore.IP: Logged |

Dear Sirona,I'm a very positive person but I have no experience such as yours to draw advice from. So, it's a bit hard to know what to say. I'm wrapping you in love and light so that you may have extra strength to deal with your illness, whatever its outcome may be. May your spirit find peace and the doctors find some way to ease your suffering. Your marriage sounds like a divine intervention - and your husband sounds like a wonderful person to lean on (as are the members here). with love purple_scorp IP: Logged |

My organs are fusing together and to my ribcage from scar tissue. Your organs have a natural flow to them to keep them working and healthy, if this movement were to stop, like it is doing to me, you will die. My intestines are being pinched closed by the scar tissue and I have a 90% blockage. If it becomes a complete blockage then I go in for emergency surgery. I have had these problems my whole life and live with chronic abdominal pain constantly but due to time the problem only gets worst. Surgery is only a temporary fix and actually makes this situation worst due to causing more scar tissue every time they open me up. That is why I refused the surgery years ago. My liver is severly damaged because of all the medications they used to have me on. My tyroid is not working. I have little blood circulation. My digestion is not working so no matter how much I eat or what I eat I am slowly starving to death. I think I am just getting scared and my faith is wavering. I have gone through this a long time and my endurance and optomism is wearing out. Thank you all for your support and loving thoughts I really need them right now. Please pray for my monetary issues also I am really wondering how I am to survive if something does not change soon with that.IP: Logged |

Oh, I am sad that you are feeling hopeless, yet I do not feel that you are hopeless... Grab ahold of that small faint light you see, and force it to grow. Something will change. Good things will happen. Believe in yourself, and by the way.. you are not a burden to anyone. and healing light to you. Is there any alternative medicine you can find? You've tried traditional, what about reiki?IP: Logged |

Sirona,Have you investigated myofascial release? It is a technique used for breaking up scar tissue and tightened fascia. If you have a serious degenerative condition you may want to speak to a doctor that knows about the technique. Sometimes the technique is called "Rolfing" and sometimes it's called "structural integration". IP: Logged |

I was born with Gastroschisis. I've had a gastronomy, colostomy, hernia repair, and a gastronomy revise. I am seeing a naturopath that does very well with me and she is doing manipulation much like myofascial release. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. I really need them right now my mood swings drastically from hope to dispair. Little things tend to set it off and I seem to have little control over my emotions at the moment. IP: Logged |

Thank you very much for the info. I looked up what you suggested yesterday. What I am doing is really alot like it and to be honest with you I can barely afford that. I have nothing but a few bags of clothes for my husband and myself. We live with his parents and barely have money for food. He was supposed to be promoted within two weeks of day before yesterday but yesterday it got screwed up and now we don't know when it will happen. Thank you for the suggestion though I greatly appriciate your advice.IP: Logged |
