Merry Christmas to All! This is Summer, Sligos sister. I am still hurting and quezzy. But compared to last week I am doing fantastic. I wish to thank ALL of you for the prayers, I know that is what got me thru, and will get me thru what still has to be done. I will be going to NYU, where they have a state of the art Dysautonomia Clinic, which means, Autonomic Nervous system disorder. I am still weak and very tired and in pain, and the prayer is they can help me, if nothing else than just get me comfortable. Again, thank you all so much for the prayers. And I send out Christmas Blessings to you all for health, happiness and home.

Bless you all
summer

Thanks Juco, I sent you a note in the mail with my new contact info. Juco I live closer to you now!

Trying to get better. Cancer still stable next check up and scan in Jan. Have debilitating spinal degeneration and several herniated disks, diabetes acting up, and chronic pain. I found out I have been chronically exposed to Depleted Uranium, various heavy metals, and possibly Agent orange. All on Vieques Puerto Rico...a couple of weeks ago CNN did an off the record phone interview with me. I wont be on the news, but there is going to be an investigative report about Vieques airing really soon in the near future. I have been accepted to go to the WRIISC (WAR INJURY AND ILLNESS STUDY CENTER) in DC early next year for 24 hour testing and an evaluation. VA thingy I am dealing with. I will keep you updated.

Plus thank you everyone for the continues prayers.

Update: Went to the oncologist this am. She was supposed to evaluate my progress ahead of next Monday's chemo treatments. No more chemo for right now. She said it was supposed to be clean up treatments and preventative in nature but she feels it is doing more harm than good. She will contact the surgeon to see when he can schedule surgery to reverse this ostomy. It is causing me too many problems. Expecting a call in the next couple of days hear the decision. The surgery can't come soon enough to suit me. I'm down to 137 lbs. and can't gain weight with this ostomy.

Hi, folks. I have a prayer request, if I may.

My husband of 17 years and I are going through a divorce. Could I please ask for prayers for our children during this time? They are 16, 14 and 12, and being troopers, but I still worry. They have delt already with my diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis a few years ago, and my daughter (12) was recently dx with Hashimoto's disease.

I thank you all so very, very much.

In Him,
Ami

Thanks for this thread, HA. I am diagnosed with COPD, quit smoking in 1981, did not get emphysema from a dirty drinking glass in 1990, for sure.

On O2 at 8 L/min but not using my Bi level CPAP at the moment. Don't know what keeps me going except a very hard head. I am asking God to cure emphysema in my body and I beleive He will because I know He exists, no doubt about it.

I pray for you all, for good health and no pain.

Prayers for you. That is quite a wake up call. To be diagnosed with COPD after such a long absence of smoking.

Rockin' the Ozarks
If you wouldn't mind adding me, I would appreciate it.

About 16 months ago, I was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension. At the time, I didn't have many symptoms--none that I'd identify. I was walking about a mile a day and able to do whatever I wanted. I was tired a lot, but I have three teenagers to keep up with! However, this was diagnosed because of an echocardiogram I had, due to something that apparently wasn't a heart attack. I had a sleep study and was told I have severe apnea, so have been using a CPAP. I felt great for a few months, then became tired again.

The problem was that we had no insurance. I waited 11 months to be put on Husband's insurance, and it takes almost half of our income. After that, I had another echo and further tests, which showed that the PH hadn't progressed much. The doctor didn't want to pursue it, but I insisted and went to a specialist. Recent tests, 4 months later, show that my PH has progressed quite a bit--and my symptoms have, too. Just doing ordinary food shopping tires me out, and walking to get the mail or newspaper leaves me out of breath. This is not good.

I have had more testing--the shortness of breath isn't, unfortunately, in my head--and the latest echo shows that my heart has been damaged. I am now waiting to see the specialist--late Feb. was the first available appointment. At that time, she'll determine what has caused this and what we can do about it. Until then, I don't know what's going on.

Unfortunately PH is a progressive disease, although recently new treatments have been added that can lengthen life. These are expensive, and it was necessary to wait until I had insurance to pursue any course of action. Just paying the copays leaves us making payments for a long time.

I am trying to continue to live my life, but I am exhausted all the time. I am not sleeping well due to muscle spasms in my back that no one seems to be able to help--I've tried the prescribed muscle relaxer and it does nothing. I wake up in the middle of the night in intense pain and just lie there until morning. I am limited in options medication-wise due to the PH.

Sorry to go on about it, but I would be grateful for your prayers.

Thinking of all of you on the list, and those not on the list but suffering nonetheless, may your suffering be lifted for you. Peace and Love to you all.

Just Plain Mom, You are surely in my prayers.
Have you applied for disability yet? You should have no problem getting it and at least you would have medical coverage and could get off your husbands insurance...and no more deductables and percentages to pay...that can bankrupt a person, ask my husband.

So many here in need of healing, strength, wisdom and peace, Father in heaven please help these in need, comfort them in these trialous hours Lord, may You grant each of us the wisdom to know Your will, although we come before thee weak and broken, may we always know this is the moment You always supply us with the strength we need!

Thank you Lord,

God Bless you all!

Just popping in to say that I keep all of you in my prayers, checking the list for updates. My cancer is still stable and I'm still in chemo, 13 months of it now, in cycles of three weeks on and one week off. Doesn't make me sick, thank the good Lord. I've lost 120 pounds and my diabetes and hypertension have both resolved, so there's some good to this battle, lol. Feeling fairly good these days, for the most part. I so appreciate everyone's prayers--they mean the world!

Hugs to all,
Loretta

Gennysmama, you seem to be in good spirits. I think a positive attitude with any illness/disease helps tremendously with the healing process. Glad you're feeling better.

I pray every night for all the members here at TB. There are so many people that need God's help or healing hand and prayer is powerful.
