To Margaret-are you Ok?
To Margaret(from your message from what procedure has helped..) I am so sorry! Is this a new pain for you-the pain in your legs & chest? I think you should go back & demand to have more tests & quickly. Pain like this is just not nothing, especially when it is in the chest also. Are you on some medication that could be doing this? Keep us posted how you are doing ok Lori praying for you

Re: To Margaret-are you Ok?
No, I don't believe its from my meds because I have been on them for 2-3wks and no problems. It just started when the pain began to increase more and more. Since, they have had me on pain killer and nausea meds I haven't felt anything, except for a little earlier on my right side. I had an appt today, but cancelled it because they had me so doped up and because I just didn't want to deal with them going; DAH, what am I supposed to do? My husband was going to go with me and wasn't happy that I cancelled, but I just couldn't get myself to go. I will make another appt tomorrow and I promise I will go this time. Thanks for your concerns and I will let you know what the say (although I have a feeling I already know). I just pray to God that an opportunity to see an amazing doctor will come my way when I get to TX (I have high hopes). Take care Lori and God bless you. Margaret p.s. How are you doing? Are you feeling better? Are the shots working or still to early to know?

Re: To Margaret-are you Ok?
I don't know how you guys do it, in so much pain or so tired and still have the energy to ask how others are doing! God bless you. You ladies are incredible. Well, everyone here is WONDERFUL. Please know I think about all of you everyday and am always praying for "normal" days for you. Even though I've not felt this good in years and don't have many questions these days, I still feel so drawn to come to the forum because of the feeling of acceptance, genuine love and support. All of you contribute greatly to my general well being. Thank you for that! :) Margaret, it seems you are in need of a GOOD doctor! I pray one will come your way. I wish I could share my doctors with you. Time for bed! Melanie |

Re: To Margaret-are you Ok?
Thanks Melanie & Margaret. I know I am not a teenager but B12 SHOTS ROCK!!!  I am certainly better than normal! I have energy! This is definately is a new lifestyle for me. I pray it continues this way, but do know that I must take advantage of being up. I just spoke to my Dr. who said that my iron levels & B12 levels were low. Now I have a wonderful diet! & also take extremelly high levels of B12 by mouth. It seems it is some sort of absorbtion problem. I have faith that this Dr. can fix me. Margaret I pray that a great Dr. will come your way also. Lori |

Re: To Margaret-are you Ok?
Thank you Melanie and Lori, I really appreciate the prayers for a good doctor, it is so needed. I have just lost faith in all the doctors and maybe even in myself (healthwise). I am trying to stay away from thinking like that too. I really can't stand going to them over and over to hear the same thing. It is just like a roller coaster, I get a new doctor(creeping up the coaster) and start to get happy thinking this could be the one and then I see them and they tell me the same stuff (the coaster goes straight to the bottom as fast as possible)and that leaves me feeling so hopeless, wondering when will I get to the top of the coaster and it will get stuck up there. Sorry, just thinking about it makes me blue.  Of course, it could be alot worse; I could be the man with no legs(my mom always told me that). Margaret p.s. Got a little down, but lifting myself back up and wanted to say that I am so happy the shots are doing great.  Melanie, I really enjoyed reading your letter and glad you are doing well.

Re: To Margaret-are you Ok?
Have an Idea since Melanie mentioned that she wished she could share our Dr. Well you see, perhaps you can do it long distance? They take insurance, but not sure how that works, as we both have kaiser. I think they accept blue shield & blue cross. Tests/Exams: I did not have one for months after treatment & then did a saliva test & those kind of tests can be done at home-easy. Just recently I had blood tests done because my records still have not come from kaiser-4 months now!~ also she needed further testing done. You would need to send her copies of all your medical records, so she could view all of them-they perceive them different than MD's. The 1st consultation is $150.00 which is about a 2 hr. interview. Perhaps it can be done on the phone but also by email. Just a thought. Lori

Re: To Margaret-are you Ok?

Re: To Margaret-are you Ok?
Hi Lori, It never hurts to see what they say, Do you have a # or address for them and I can call and inquire? It might take me until I get to Tx and settled to do it(because we are living in total caos right now), but I could see if they take my insurance(usually they don't, but I could see). Oh man, I just have to get this off my chest. I am about to crack and lose it. This week has been so emotional between me being sick, dealing with emotions from infertility(when the Oprah show came), to my family having so many problems. I am sorry to just bring this up so unexpectantly, but while I was writing the above portion my sister called and just found out her dog might die (he is young, healthy, vibrant dog and understand in my family our dogs are our children) and no one knows what caused this. On top of that my dad is in a hospital getting treated for PTSD and isn't acting normal, no one has electricity and won't for probably 2wks, my grandfather fell yesterday, my mother is walking on a broken foot, and my oldest sister is about to marry a guy that is putting things in her head, which is tearing her away from us. I can't even go into what else is going on (yes, their is more, much more) If something could go wrong it has/will and I am just about to lose it. I just feel like I am watching this tidal wave and it is on the verge of swallowing my family and all I can do is watch from a distance. I am so sorry for getting into this, but right now I just needed to talk about it(my husband is at work) and I know you all will listen and pray for them. I...I just don't know why? Why them? Why is so much happening to them? Can I help? What can I do? Ok, I am sorry...I'm sorry...I really don't even know why I keep saying this, but I feel bad bothering you all with my problems. My sister just called back and her baby is in Cartiac arrest. Right before the 2nd hurricane her best friend lost her husband to this (newly wed & brand new baby). Plus, I lost one of my babies to this as well. The doctor told her they luckily caught it early so there is still a chance. His heart is enlarged 2x the size (which is caused either by heartworms,which isn't possible or its in the genes). My baby(Zac)was adopted, but unfortunately the people that had him before didn't take care of him and so when I did the treatment to remove them it was to late because his heart was already enlarged 3x its size. It was one of the hardest things I've ever dealt with when he passed. I spoke to her and told her that I was requesting prayers for him and her and all of our family and she said, "Thanks". Ok, I am balling now and have to go(this just brought back some very sad memories for me as well), thanks for listening to me and praying for Brutus and my family. Lori thank you for this website, I don't know where I would be right now without it. Thanks and God bless you all. Margaret

Re: To Margaret-are you Ok?
Hi Margaret, Hey do not worry about venting. I am very sorry for all of it. Perhaps the psalms will help. David sure had a lot to be terrified & worried about. When I read those psalms I can only imagine the daily struggles he faced. some verses that my help: Matthew 11:28-29 Jesus said" Come to me, all you who are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls" The Lord gives strength to his people, the Lord Blesses his people with peace. Psalm 29:11 Praying he gives brings you Peace. Here is the email address & #. drbarrett@inaturalmedicine.com 949-753-8889 Lori Praying Let us know how it goes ok |

Re: To Margaret-are you Ok?
Thanks and I will keep you updated and tell you how everything goes. I enjoyed the psalms and thank you for sharing them with me. I have been saying a few prayers right now to try and stay strong myself, for my family because if I break down then they will have know one to remain strong for them. I also cried some and my dogs came running to me and I realized that if my baby Zac hadn't passed then I wouldn't have Rambo(in pic) to bless my life(he's asleep on my lap as I write this). So, things do happen for a reason, even if sometimes you can't understand why. You all take care and thanks for any prayers and much needed support. Margaret p.s. thanks for the #, I will tell you what happens. |
