I JUST WANTED TO WELCOME ALL YOU NEWBIES TO THIS AMAZING FAMILY!!! You have come to the right place. I know that all of you will be happy here, as I am.

Now, for an up-date on me, NOTHING HAS CHANGED. All I do is what I can, when I can. It'a a fight everyday just to move my head without getting dizzy and blacking out. Neuro says the next step is to put me in the hospital and do all these tests. The only problem with that, My Insurance deductable is so high. I need to come up with $1700. to meet what's left of my deductable now and we just do not have it and can't get it. So I go through my days and nights fighting with all these dizzy spells and blackouts are coming more and more. I just keep praying and telling myself, it's nothing major But, I don't now that. So Please Friends, Keep Praying for me? I Love You All. God Bless You. And Thanks So Much for being here for me. You are in my thoughts Always. Love Ya, shortstuff

Praying for you dear friend. Always.

I dispense advice freely but you should take it with a grain of salt and do your homework and check with your doctor.
He gets paid more so he must know more. Right?

I am truly sorry your are reading my post, because it means you are here at MD Junction instead of out skydiving or deep sea treasure hunting or climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.......

Empyema-
Fibeomyalgia
Hashimoto's
IBS=if you have to ask you don't want to know
severe osteo arthritis, spine/neck

hypoglycemia, which is every bit annoying as hyper

Praying for you massively!

That's alot of money to have to pay and not be gauranteed an answer which in my hospital experiences is possible. Even with the best hospitals I've been treated in they don't always have answers and still refer you back to your treating neuro for follow up testing. Why do they need to hospitalize you? What can't they do outpatient?? When I was in under neuro care in the hospital for a week a couple months ago they said they only do neuro in patient testing that's emergency otherwise it's all preferred to be done outpatient after discharge.

I wish you the best, my thoughts and prayers are with you!!! Hugs Smile

I suffer from Rapid Progressive MS, Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Epilepsy, Migraines, Neuropathy, IBS, Narcolepsy, Arrythmia, Arthritis and too much more complete list on profile.

I'm not currently active due to many personal and medical issues. I will not be participating in MDJ for awhile, my thoughts and prayers are with everyone. I hope everyone is well and I appreciate all of the thoughts, kind words and messages. I have tried to respond as much as possible and apologize if I have not gotten back to everyone. Love & Hugs, Stacey

Sending you massive prayers and gentle hugs!

Is there a group that does fundraising in your area that you could alert to your problem? I know sometimes churches, temples, etc will raise money for individuals.

Rest up and come back when you can! We love you and can't wait for you to feel better!

I'm so very sorry to hear this is still going on and you have no answers. My heart is breaking for you but I'm praying so hard for you. I know how strong you are and you have such a great attitude however it doesn't take away how much you are suffering right now. Please know I'm here if you need someone to talk to. I could even PM you my phone number if you want.

hugs and prayers,

Connie
