Its been awhile since I wrote here,I became very ill last month around the 20th,right after my 21st birthday.I couldnt keep any food down or liquids and was loosing weight fast.Finally,November 2,a friend made me go to the hospital where I was admitted immediately for dehydration.They took my blood and I was told my White blood cell count was a whopping 19,000, when normally its supposed to be around 6,000.The doctors ran test after test,but couldnt find the infection.I laid there night after night,praying I would live through this,I just had a bad feeling I was going to die.They had me on an IV,giving me all sorts of medications,one for vomitting,burned my vein so badly,it is still busted in my right forearm near the wrist.I was terrified,They didnt know what was wrong with me but were giving me all kinds of medications,taking my blood every morning at 4:00am,I wanted to leave so badly but I was down to 82 pounds(two weeks before I was 105)and I couldnt walk around.Then one night,laying in the bed,I suddenly felt a presence in the room,and my television shut off on its own.I felt a strong light aroung me,as if there were angels around my bed or something,then the television flashed a bright white light.the next morning the doctor told me my white blood cell count was going back down,and I was released a few days ago,I am on one antibiotic now,I got my weight up to 93 pounds today.I had went one month without eating a single piece of food(I couldnt keep anything down) yesterday I kept my first meal down in one month,and right after I ate,I had such a rush it was like drugs or something.I still dont know what was wrong with me,which is more than a little scary,But I am SO Thankful to be ALIVE****

If anyone has had a similar experience,I'd be very interested to hear about it.Also,what do you think I should do nutrition-wise,I pretty much "fasted" for a month,I want to eat very healthy,but I need to gain the weight back fast because I have to go back to work next monday.Also,if anyone knows what is good to build blood back up,or heal a broken vein,any suggestions would help me entirely.Thank you for taking the time to listen.Love and Light,Elizajane

I just got the biggest, tingling goosebumps ALL OVER from reading your story! Wow!

I am so glad these angels/guides appeared and began your healing process! Take Care and keep us posted how you are doing.

Could you make a healthy protein-milkshake? Like use really good quality ice cream, high-quality protein powder, spirulina, banana, blueberries, etc. Power-pack your body.

Good Luck!

Oh, dear...

Really makes you wonder... Just how much pain The Universe thinks one person can handle I followed your other thread although I don't think I posted there. Just couldnt find the right words. May be this illness was your way of coping with your Mom's passing... and the white angels were her way of watching over you

I am so happy that you feel better and stronger now. Protein shakes are definitely a good idea and they will be easy on your stomach too. Apples are a good source of iron. Actually, good old homemade chicken soup will help too. I wish I could bring you some, honey.... My daughter swears it's the best.

Love and Hugs to you. Please keep us posted

...hmm, wonder how much your mother had to do with it? She is around you.

now on to nutrition....Ensure is a milkshake type of drink, use to be sold in cans, not sure if that has changed, but it is full of nutrients that your body needs now. It would be quick and easy.

Blessings to you and your mom.

Noreen

Please take care of yourself, it has been a very long/hard year for you.

I was thinking the same as Noreen, it's been a VERY hard year for you. Maybe after it all your body just gave in and resistance just plummeted.

I feel, too, that your mom is/was there with you. She will always be with you, never fear.

WOW!

I'm glad you're on the road to recovery. I don't know what would help repair a vein or artery, but I do know that beets & green vegies will build the blood.

Take care
