  • Prayers Needed

    Monday, March 31, 2008 | A Call For Help story

    I feel awful. This bronchitis/pneumonia is taking quite a toll I don't need right now. Breathing is labored. Taking meds as necessary. Head and chest feel like they’re about to explode. My throat is raw. With all due respect to those who are truly suffering in this world and website, I would like to request prayers for a quick recovery. Thanks!!
    Love you all dearly,
    kate

  • Something is wrong.

    Thursday, May 1, 2008 | A Call For Help story

    OK this is the third time in a few weeks that I have gotten sick to my stomach. I don't think it's the flu. I went out one night, ate mexican seafood and drank a wine that I have never heard of. I need to stop drinking, I know, but it was a fun night and I was really stressed. I hardly have fun anymore so I thought I deserved some fun. Now I have been sick for days. My doctor is...

  • I'm Desperate for Your Prayers

    Thursday, July 10, 2008 | A Call For Help story

    I accidentally stopped taking one of my major medicines (Neurontin) a week ago yesterday. Two days ago I began going through withdrawal symptoms, unbeknownst to me at the time. Yesterday is when I realized that I had stopped taking the medicine and the symptoms began to get worse. This morning at 4:20 I called the national poison control center and talked to a wonderful and helpful woman who TO...

  • Still Need Your Prayers

    Friday, July 11, 2008 | A Call For Help story

    Not much improvement since yesterday. I did sleep pretty well last night so I do feel a little more awake today. Still very shaky. Heart so far is not pounding quite as much. Headache is worse. Having stomach problems, however. No desire to eat this morning yet. Today is supposed to be the worst day of the three, so I don’t quite know what else is in store to come.
    Thanks for all your pray...

    I've been in and out of recovery for years now. I won't go into details but let me just say that I'm usually "out" of recovery. I have a routine. I have some really important reasons that I NEED a drink. I don't have enough medication for my back and I'm in pain, I'm depressed, I have anxiety, I even have reasons that are more positive like, "it's Saturd...

    Sunday, May 24, 2009 | A Call For Help story

    Well things havent improved since I last updated u all on my situation. On Wednesday my mom was admitted to the psych ward at the local hospital. Apparently her schizophrenia which I just recently learned of, is out of control and she has had a nervous meltdown of some sort. I was told that they were only going to be able to keep her for 3 days since she signed herself in at the advice of her psy...
