Totally Frustrated
I suffer from fibromyalgia, severe anxiety, mild depression, high/low blood pressure (it likes to fluctuate), my heart likes to race, have LOTS of colon issues etc. I have been doing great, had everything under control, was feeling good, everything was going good.
Then on January 19 I thought for sure I was having a heart attack, dialed 911 and was rushed to the er. Thank God I was not but I did have pneumonia. The bacteria that caused it is and influenzae virus that normally only affects kids age 5 and younger. Anyhow this week is my 6th week of dealing with it. After having my 3rd set of x-rays a week ago monday I was informed they saw a density in my left lung and I needed a ct scan. Well they found that the density was still the pneumonia so I am on my 4th dose of antibiotics. What they did find was a tumor on my thyroid and immediately order an ultrasound on that. This was done tuesday, still no word.
Today I went to my neurologist for 3 different emgs, one in each arm up to my neck and then on from the middle of my low back around my right hip into my thigh. If you have never had an emg count your blessings as they can be very painful, but they do find a lot of different things. I now need to have an MRI on my lower back because there is some sort of impingement that if left alone eventually would lead to me not be able to walk with my right leg.
I have had enough. for the last 6 weeks I have been seeing a doctor of some sort at least 2 times a week. I want the me back that I was before the pneumonia. I had been doing great since the end of last May and even the things that had popped up prior were nothing that lasted like this is. I ache all over, and hurt badly in some areas. I am exhausted but have trouble sleeping. I am so weak that I can not be on my feet for more then 15 minutes. If I am I am afraid I will pass out as I get really dizzy and wobbly. This has got to end and soon before I go nuttier then I already am.
What bothers me the most is I am finally really happy. My life was changing in the right direction and now I am slammed right down on my butt. Dear God I know you have a reason for all of these things to be happening to me that I do not understand. I just ask please make it end I have suffered so much with my health for too many years as it already is. I just want to enjoy my new life that includes you more then it ever has Lord. So please God answer my prayer and help me get through these trying times where my health is concerned. In Jesus name I pray. Amen

Amen. I prayed along with your prayer. Hugs, Linda
I had health problems for years. I can empathize. Praying with you. Just read your thyroid biopsy was benign. Praise God!
Hugs,

Just heard your good news about the growth and hope more is coming your way. When we don\'t feel well, it\'s so hard and you deserve every happiness.
Gentle care and a healing (((hug)))

Had the MRI today so hopefully later in the week I may know what is going on there. See my surgeon tomorrow, hopefully for the last time, then a few hours later see my headache specialist and will be getting for shots into my occipital nerves it will be extremely painful to get them but within about an hour the headache starts to dissipate and the shots last for at least 2 months. I just can not get a handle on anything right now with all the different areas of pain and the pneumonia. No I do not believe this antibiotic is doing the trick either. have 3 more days left to take it then will wait about a week and if I think I still have my primary doc will be hearing from me.
I just want to thank you all for reading my ramblings, and complaints. Knowing that someone cares, other then the couple people in my life, means the world to me and I thank God daily for each of and that He continue to comfort you through out your journey here on earth until it is time for us to really go home and see our babies again.
Love you all (((((((HUGS))))))
