Like many of you here, I have been desperate to find out what was so wrong with me for many years. Even if it's only been a year or a few months for you, I know what a desperate feeling it is.
We don't want to be sick, and in looking at most of here and comparing our profiles, it's amazing to see how similar we all are. We are active, we love life, we love our families and nature’s beauty, and I think that's why we have found each other here. Because we don't give up, if we are here it's because we are searching to find a way of helping ourselves and each other and we don’t quit.
I know that it's hard to believe, but it's true that I have seen at least 12 to 15 doctors, and I'm not even including eye specialists that told me that my horribly painful red eye was an infection. I came so close to having the sclera literally melt from what turned out to be Scleritis, that I have permanent damage. But because I kept on and on searching, talking to others, searching on the internet for different support groups, I found a Uvitis support group on line out of Boston back in 2002. I was in so much pain and despair that I didn't want to see another day. God led me to this group, and because of them I found a local doctor that was able to help me and I have the Scleritis under control. It's also an immune disorder like my RA and Hashi’s.If you are feeling down from not only feeling terrible, but because you are still just in limbo trying to find someone that would listen to you, please don't give up. Never, ever give up hope and when you're having one of those horrible, terrible not wanting to see the next day’s day, keep the Lord's message that He is with you….keep the image of His Face at all times. He will always be with you....a lot like this group. We may not post every day, but we know that we are all on the other side of this cyber wall.
Looking forward to more good days but knowing that this may not last and praying for strength from God to always be with me and helping me to stay strong, Zeyda.
Best to all.....please never give up hope and I pray that you will always have the strength to fight the bad days and the Faith to know that it will get better.
