This is not living

I have been fighting a severe infection for months now.  I can no longer take antibiotics for it as nothing worked.  I have chest pains daily and believe all the treatments that I have taken have damaged my heart beyond repair.  I have no energy and feel short of oxygen most of the time.  I don't know why I have to go through this.  I did nothing to deserve it and still my body is doing everything it can to make sure I have no freaking life.  I will try to come in and read more often.  I miss you all so very much.  I just have no spoons to respond.  Love and prayers for each of you.

Autumn, I feel horrible for you. I can't believe no treatment has helped but only caused heart damage. Have they cultured the bacteria? Have you seen a pulmonologist? There's gotta be answers *somewhere*.
I'm praying for you.

I have been so worried about you. What do doctors say about the infection? Have you tried IV antibiotics at a Hospital? Sorry for all of the questions. I know you feel terrible and it's hard to respond. I am praying there is more that can be done for you. I'm so sorry you are going through all of this. I know it's been a huge lonely battle. And I really hope your partner has been super supportive and helpful. Sending you strength, energy, and lots of love. Hang in there. Please keep update us more often if you can.

Autumn - I have been so worried about you. I'm glad that you were able to post something. I'm sorry that you are feeling so terrible and that nothing is helping. As Blue said, have you seen some specialists? Surely, something can be done to help. Thinking of you, sending healing vibes and support. Hugs!

Autumn - I think that Milily makes a very good suggestion to see an infectious disease specialist.

How are you doing since you posted this entry in your journal? Thinking of you and hoping things are even a tiny bit better.

Eecp heart treatment.....Clevelandclinic.org........my.treatments

Will supply oxygen to heart growing new veins. You may have to commute to a center but it is worth it. They also have oxygen you can be on while laying down for the treatment.
Prayers for you
