plain jane Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) I hesitate to post this because I have whined a lot on here and that's not really how I am IRL but I have nobody to turn to. On top of all my difficulties with my toddler and preschooler I am really struggling with several health issues. To be honest I have been sick and/or in extreme pain almost every single day since summer. :( I have been to several doctors but have yet been able to figure everything out. As you can imagine, this is greatly impacting my ability to homeschool my kids effectively and as a result I have a great deal of anxiety over that. Things have been very difficult over all and I am losing hope. I could really use some prayers for my health that I can pull it together and find out what is wrong with me so I can be the mother and teachers kids deserve. I am so sick of being sick every single day. :(. I'm so worn out. Edited October 15, 2012 by plain jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SevenDaisies Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 :grouphug: praying for you. My sister has long suffered from GI issues. More than 7 years ago she was diagnosed (at age22) with esophageal varices (a mass of veins in her esophagus). These generally indicate liver disease but her biopsy came back normal. In recent years she has suffered from debilitating migraines, insomnia (zero deep sleep), mental fogginess and more GI issues. Oh and btw the varices can rupture and be deadly. She finally found a doctor who was determined to figure out what was wrong. The doctor was truly concerned about the varices and sent her case to medical conference after medical conference. She finally sent her to a liver specialist who suggested a rare procedure to put a shunt in her liver. I think the doctor had only ever performed 2 of them. My sister was hesitant, but went ahead with the surgery. They got a better liver biopsy sample and she was officially diagnosed with a rare liver disease that she was likely born with. In any case, though the process has been long, she found the right doctor who cared enough to find the answer. She had her surgery about 6 weeks ago and is doing well. She has not had a migraine since surgery and other symptoms get better as her liver continues to heal. All this to say, hang in there. If your doctor isn't trying to find the answer, get another opinion. The answer is out there and so is that doctor determined to find it. In the meantime, I will pray that you find your answer much more quickly than my sister did. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the 6th week of no work because he is so sick. He goes to a specialist tomorrow and I am hoping against hope they figure it out and get him well.

Denisemomof4 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug:The not knowing is so difficult. I would try to keep your diet as clean as possible and remove all the common allergens to see if you feel any better whatsoever.:grouphug::grouphug::grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catz Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Gently, anxiety, stress, and/or depression can exacerbate health problems and symptoms. You may want to consider talking to a mental health professional if you are feeling really overwhelmed. I know this from experience. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k2bdeutmeyer Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I'm so sorry. Having been sick for almost 2 months myself.....I can totally relate. I hope things are figured out soon for you, so you can return to your normal duties and life. There is something so comforting about just being able to be the "normal" you.
